Fours, dan kerman tells us. That did not follow the proper process. Unofficial finalists have not yet been determined dance here in the studio to explain what is going on. Well, you know, it turns out the subcommittee of the Oakland Police commission jump the gun by releasing a list of 7 candidates. The fact is the application process isnt over until friday and the candidates havent been interviewed and until that happens, an official list of at least 3 candidates wont be submitted to the mayor. The Oakland PoliceCommission Said monday its staff searches Ad Hoc Committee had come up with the top 7 candidates to be oaklands police chief and that among the top 7 candidates, his former chief leronne armstrong. Tuesday, armstrong responded with a statement saying since he was cleared of any misconduct, i believe that the mayor should rehire me is chief of police, but a member of the Police Commission says its Ad Hoc Committee failed to follow the process. I am emotionally intelligent enough not to put my name on such a reprehensible and ethical process. Regina jackson is not part of the Ad Hoc Committee, but is a member of oaklands Police Commission. We need to not do at half past job excuse my but we need to be thorough, professional and equitable responsible and accountable. And within that, we also want to be transparent with community. It turns out the list of 7 candidates was submitted before the application deadline arrives on friday. It was also done before the executive search firm forwards. All the names to the Police Commission so they can conduct interviews and hold a town hall meeting before submitting a list of at least 3 choices to the mayor. All of the leadership and open seems to be in disarray. They dont seem to be together. Community leader in bishop bob jackson, who has advocated for lauren armstrongs immediate reinstatement as chief. Hes not surprised by this added procedural chaos, but he finds it extremely frustrating time with taking the longer it takes, the more crime is able function and operate in a city. Which is just a shame. Its really a shame to me. Then the real question that remains is if armstrong does end up as one of the top candidates submitted by the Police Commission. But mayor sheng thao who fired him rehire him. Ive been in politics for far too long to know that whatever, whatever is impossible is very, very probable. If the right circumstances and the right people can get together, you can sworn enemies. Point day, but because of right optics in politics the right policy. You can bring them all together, but its going to take some doing. And the question is whether there are people in the community willing pull them together to create that kind of scenario. Oakland city officials confirm they will follow the official process, which means they will wait for the application process to close friday and they will wait for the police to commission to conduct candidate interviews. And then for the commission to submit at least 3 finalists to the mayor for her consideration at that time, the mayor can either pick from one of those 3 or she can ask for another list of finalists.

He sat down today with our catherine heenan. She joins us now in the newsroom with more on what he had to say capron. Well, steve garvey, noel says it was the worst kept secret in months that he was considering. Running for Dianne Feinsteins senate seat. He says he jumped in because of washington dysfunction and those its likely to be an uphill fight being a republican in an overwhelmingly blue state. Youre looking at his Campaign Announcement video here which leans heavily into his baseball careers. Garvey says he did not play for republicans or democrats as a ballplayer. He just played for everybody. He argues will be the same for politics. I asked him about some of his priorities if elected affordability of housing. Their increased Interest Rates have difficult to get a mortgage about a young couple.
