"Jean will be a real Education Mayor.

-- Tony Robinson, East Oakland Student Leader

"I gave Jean a hard time when she first was elected to office. Based on my past experience with politicians, I initially figured I was dealing with more of the same false promises we have had to deal with our whole lives. I spent 6 hard years ridding this neighborhood of the Hillcrest Motel, and Jean helped us remove that blight starting from the first day she took office. Everyone turned their backs on us... Jean, [former District 4 Staff] Arturo [Sanchez] & OPD were the exception to this rule, and to this end I owe Jean an apology and my heartfelt thanks for helping this neighborhood and Oakland be a better place for us to live."

-- Marcel De Gross, Boston Avenue Dimond Resident

"I support Councilmember Quan. I have met her and believe she is what the City of Oakland needs for leadership and in a working Mayor. I also believe she understands the work involved in getting the community to stand up, organize, work together and be accountable to ITSELF (!!) for what we want and need for our city."

-- GC Jeter, East Oakland Resident

"I support Jean Quan’s candidacy for Mayor of Oakland because she has shown the down-in-the-trenches resolve to deal with Oakland’s problems over the time she has been on the City Council, and continues to show that resolve and leadership today. She knows the facts, and the way forward."
