ELECTION ’12//OAKLAND CITY COUNCIL D3 | Oakland District 3 City Council candidate Alex Miller-Cole announced the endorsement of Assemblyman Sandre Swanson today in an email to supporters. The progressive champion’s backing, however, has also been bestowed upon District 3 candidates Sean Sullivan and Nyeisha DeWitt.

“To have the endorsement of such a legendary leader is truly humbling, particularly one with such deep ties to Oakland,” Miller-Cole said in the announcement.

The progressive backing from Swanson follows a dual endorsement for Miller-Cole from the current District 3 Councilmember Nancy Nadel, who has always spread her love around to various candidates.
