The 2002 Oakland mayoral election was held on March 5, 2002 to elect the mayor of Oakland, California. It saw the reelection of incumbent mayor Jerry Brown.

Campaign

Former Oakland City Council member Wilson Riles Jr., who had served on the City Council from 1979 until 1992, challenged incumbent first-term mayor Jerry Brown.[1][2]

Brown ran a low-profile campaign.[3]

Brown had $200,000 in campaign funds, more than twice what Riles had.[3]

While the previous election had attracted national media attention, very little media coverage was paid to the 2002 race.[4]

A chief critique of Brown made by Riles was that the incumbent mayor was too cozy with downtown developers.[1]

Riles, ultimately, performed stronger than had been anticipated by many.[3]

Brown was also campaigning in support of ballot measure that would permanently extend 1998's Measure X, which had implemented a six-year period in which Oakland would be run under the strong mayor form of governance. Measure X's change from a weak mayor to strong mayor form of governance would expire during the coming mayoral term. However, the measure to permanently extend Measure X ultimately failed in 2002.[5] A similar measure which permanently extended the Measure X changes, however, would successfully be approved by voters in 2004, thus permentantly keeping they changes made by Measure X.[5]
