Harold Lowe’s “CP Time” Run For Oakland City Council District 2 Has Friday 5 PM Deadline

Harold Lowe, a locally-well-known Oaklander who’s Lowe Consulting has reportedly had Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf as one of his clients, has embarked on a last-minute rush to run for the Oakland City Council District 2 Seat held by Nikki Fortunado Bas that, to some, has the look of a political gaming effort. How else to explain a campaign that started just this week, days before the signature and filing deadline?

There are some who believe that Mayor Schaaf pushed Lowe to run against Bas because she’s seen by some as vulnerable. (A point of view I do not hold because too many people have underestimated Councilmember Bas.).

Anyway, Lowe’s campaign crew started the effort August 9th and as i write this it’s Wednesday, August 10th. On one of the Oakland neighborhood listservs a woman named Leeann Alameda wrote this:

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to announce that Harold Lowe is running for D2 against CP Bas! He is the only person running against Bas. Harold brings a pragmatic point of view to Oakland’s problems, he knows this community well and the issues we face, and he will speak up for sensible policies and approaches.

I am attaching his FAQ sheet with more information.

Harold needs to gather 100 D2 resident signatures by Friday to be on the ballot. If you want to sign the form, there are a couple of opportunities:

Harold will be at Leaning Tower of Pizza, 8/10, 1 – 2 pm. Stop by during that time to say hello and sign.

Follow-up: Harold will be back at Leaning Tower of Pizza on Thursday, 8/11, 3-4 pm to gather more signatures and chat with voters.

Can Harold Lowe Make The Deadline?

Harold Lowe not only has to gain 100 signatures – and good ones – and get them to the Oakland City Clerk’s Office by Friday at 5 PM, he has to pay $1,000. Now the good news is if he can’t afford the money, the Oakland City Clerk’s Office will spread out the payments for him.

But, to be rather jocular about it, Harold Lowe is running on “”CP Time” – that’s the term used to describe how us black folks are always running late,

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a “liked” YouTube video by a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then that YouTube video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners. This process is entirely within YouTube terms of service, where embedding of videos for use on websites and platforms is allowed and encouraged.
