Get ready to see the name Rosa Rios adorning your next one dollars bills. President Barack Obama has nominated the former San Leandro development official to be U.S. treasurer, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Rios previous worked in economic development for the cities of Oakland, Fremont and Union City.

Let's Go Oakland! is a group of A's fans, business people, labor leaders, and government officials who are committed to keeping the A's in Oakland.
But it's about much more than just building a ballpark. As part of a larger plan to build new hotels, restaurants, and cafes, a new destination stadium will attract visitors from all over the region. Like AT&T Park in Mission Bay did for San Francisco, our ballpark will be a catalyst to bring new investment and jobs to Oakland, kick-starting the next phase of our community's successful economic development.
If you support Oakland — if you support the A's — we hope you'll stand with us. Sign our petition, and urge Major League Baseball and team ownership to keep the A's in Oakland!
