“My appointment was what (Wilma Chan) wanted, and it’s what her family wanted,” Supervisor David Brown said in an interview.
Alameda County requires elected officials to live and be eligible to vote full-time in the districts where they serve for at least one year before they begin their terms.
Brown, in an interview, called himself a “proud resident of Oakland and Alameda County,” — he resides in Jack London Square — and that he and his family “enjoy the estuary, farmers’ market and the restaurants.”Asked if he would move back to Walnut Creek after the end of his term, he said “I love Oakland.”
Brown was appointed swiftly to the District 3 seat by the Board of Supervisors at its Nov. 16 meeting just two weeks after Chan’s death. After a tribute to the late supervisor — who was struck and killed by a car while walking her dog — the supervisors moved to appoint Brown, who received hefty support at public comment.
“The county political establishment… all were calling for this illegal appointment and pushing for it,” Bezis said, referring to text messages between Brown and two other supervisors about his potential appointment.
