Editorial: Alameda County supervisors should not appoint another carpet-bagger

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:57 GMT

We find out Thursday whether Alameda County supervisors will once again make a mockery of the process for filling a vacancy on their own board.Following the death last month of Richard Valle, the supervisors could appoint one of three current officeholders already representing residents of District 2: Hayward Councilmember Elisa Marquez, Fremont Councilmember Teresa King or Harris Majadedi, a new trustee for the Chabot-Los Positas Community College District.Of the three, Marquez is the standout and, by far, most experienced.

It has heavy sedative effects like an opioid but isn’t one, so it doesn’t respond...
