Asian American Mayor of Oakland

As I walk through the streets of Oaklandd I see many faces pass me by. In my eyes, Oakland is one big tossed salad with a variety of cultures and different ways ofliving. What's good is that the citizens of Oakland are overall excepting of every culture. In the mayoral elections of 2010, candidates of many different cultures came into the race. After much deliberation, the city declared Jean Quan, who is Asian American, the new mayor of Oakland. She now represents the city of Oakland. Jean Quan (61), was elected the first woman mayor of Oakland, California, a city of more than 446,000. When she takes office on January 3, 2011, Quan will be the first Asian American woman Mayor of a major US City.  Go to fullsize imagetil next time keep it heemin.
