Alameda County District 5 Supervisor Keith Carson
Paid for by the Friends of Keith Carson, FPPC ID #890744 |
Alameda County District 5 is a vibrant community comprised of diverse cultures and ethnicities. There are constant events, issues and activities that are taking place within the District at any moment in time.
The Fifth District includes the cities of Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont, and West Oakland, North Oakland, Rockridge, Grand Lake, and portions of the Fruitvale, Manzanita and Dimond District neighborhoods.
As your County Supervisor:
a) I hope to make it easier for the residents to learn more about the District and other County Services;
b) I will keep the residents of District 5 more informed about relevant issues - political, economic, and social - that impact the residents of our District; and
c) I want to hear your ideas about what is working and what you think would make our communities better.
I will continue to work to bring together people who have a wealth of talent and creative resources to address our shared problems in our communities including access to health care, ending poverty, homelessness, crime, improving business retention, and employment.
Feel free to send me an e-mail if you have any issues, ideas and concerns you want to share with me.
Yours Truly,
Keith Carson

A Message from Supervisor Carson: I am hopeful that justice will prevail in the Oscar Grant shooting trial. Community leaders and the general public have been concerned about the process and the trial which has awakened deep emotions for the majority of our residents. Many people in leadership positions and I, have been and will continue to monitor the process and if in our observation justice does not prevail, we will pursue other state and federal recourses including the Department of Justice if necessary; so Oscar Grant’s family and residents of the area can receive an adequate resolution to this horrific situation. For those who feel the verdict is unjust, we ask that you express yourself peacefully. The City of Oakland has designated the following locations to gather: · East Bay Asian Youth Center – 2025 East 12th St/ 533-1092 · Arroyo Viejo Recreation Center – 7701 Krause Avenue/615-5755 · Mosswood Recreation Center - 3612 Webster Street/597-5038 · Youth UpRising – 8711 MacArthur Blvd./777-1163 · Urban Services YMCA (M.
