She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated).

She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

Butt, backed by the city's progressive faction, has 51.4 percent of the vote. Nat Bates, a longtime councilman backed by Chevron, has 35.4 percent of the vote. Butt can avoid a runoff by finishing with over 50 percent; final numbers won't be known until unprocessed mail ballots are processed -- probably sometime later this week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the City Council race, a slate of progressive candidates appears to have swept the three available seats. Gayle McLaughlin, the city's termed-out mayor, finished with 16.9 percent, ahead of Jovanka Beckles (16.2) and Eduardo Martinez (14.6).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:30 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> With about half of the city's 53 precincts reporting, progressive-backed City Councilman Tom Butt is widening his lead in the race for mayor. He now has 50.6 percent of the vote, a 14-point lead over Nat Bates, a longtime councilman heavily funded by Chevron. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third candidate, Uche Uwahemu, has just over 12 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council race has changed dramatically as votes: Termed-out Mayor Gayle McLaughlin now holds the lead, with over 16 percent of the vote. Her fellow Richmond Progressive Alliance candidates, incumbent Jovanka Beckles and newcomer Eduardo Martinez are in second and third place. Chevron-backed Donna Powers has dropped to fifth place, putting her out of a seat if the results hold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Incumbent Jim Rogers currently is in fourth place and out of a winning spot, with just under 14 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the race for a two-year term on the City Council, RPA-backed Jael Myrick, an incumbent, is holding a sizable lead against fellow Councilman Corky Booze, who was also backed by Chevron.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means there are currently no Chevron-backed candidates in position to win. There are still a lot of votes to be counted, but if the results hold this will be a big loss for the oil giant, which poured at least $3.1 million into this election in Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:20 p.m.: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first results for the Richmond City Council and mayoral races are trickling in, and so far the results are tight. With nearly 4,300 votes counted (mostly vote-by-mail), Councilman Tom Butt has a 300-vote lead over fellow Councilman Nat Bates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt's campaign manager, Alex Knox, said he's cautiously optimistic at this point, but he thinks it might be a close race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So far it's really good. Our initial results are great, but nobody's taking that as any sort of serious indication yet,\" Knox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the results are very early --probably just 20 percent of the total expected-- this might not be good news for Chevron, which spent over $500,000 on billboards, mailers and television ads supporting Bates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the council races, current Mayor Gayle McLaughlin is holding second place spot for now. She's a member of the Richmond Progressive Alliance, and was the target of a large-scale negative campaign funded by Chevron. The two other RPA candidates --including incumbent Jovanka Beckles-- are behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron-backed council candidate Donna Powers is in third place. If those results hold, she would win a seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a mayoral race in Richmond this election season, and current Mayor Gayle McLaughlin is termed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McLaughlin, the first Green Party candidate elected mayor of a major city, is part of the Richmond Progressive Alliance, or RPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the group behind a lot of attention-getting stories out of Richmond recently, like the soda tax bill and the attempt to use eminent domain to buy up underwater mortgages. But no one from the RPA is running for mayor this time around.

He served on the council in the '60s and '70s, and was re-elected in 1995. Bates is heavily supported by Chevron in this race, which has a large refinery in Richmond. The company would like to see someone more sympathetic at the head of the City Council, after McLaughlin took a decidedly adversarial stance against the oil giant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt is 72, and he's been on the council since 1995. McLaughlin and the RPA are endorsing him in this race because he often votes with the progressives on the council, even if he's not officially part of the alliance. He has often worked on compromising with Chevron, most recently on the company's $1 billion refinery modernization project. In that case, he and two other council members helped secure a $90 million community benefits package from the company in exchange for the votes to approve the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two men have been on the City Council for a combined 54 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The candidates in some ways are more similar than not,\" said Robert C. Smith, a political science professor at San Francisco State. He’s been following Richmond politics for decades. \"So it’s not like to elect either one is going to bring about change, so to speak.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fresh face in this race is Uche Uwahemu, a businessman and former social worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They’ve had their opportunity to lead,\" Uwahemu said, referring to Bates and Butt. \"You can’t keep recycling the same folks all the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10346539\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/uwahemu.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10346539\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/uwahemu.jpg\" alt=\"Candidate Uche Justin Uwahemu.

(Courtesy Uche for Richmond Mayor 2014).\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Uwahemu has got a lot of ideas, from a technical high school that teaches computer skills to a technology incubator that would fund tech startups in Richmond. But when it comes to funding those ideas, he’s a bit fuzzy. He also wants to beef up Richmond's port, which he says is underutilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Uwehamu has little campaign cash to spend, and really, little chance of winning this race. Bates, on the other hand, is getting a big chunk of funds from a \u003ca href=\"http://richmondconfidential.org/2014/10/10/3-million-in-chevrons-moving-forward-war-chest/\" target=\"_blank\">$1.3 million super PAC created by Chevron to influence Richmond politics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has poured a total of $3 million into super PACs. A lot of that money is going to negative campaigning against McLaughlin --who's running for council -- and the other RPA council candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if Bates and those forces win, it will be evidence the money made the difference,\" Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates is running on a pro-business platform and promises to get Richmond out of its $7 million deficit, even if it means laying off city workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can’t move a city and you can’t operate a city if you have that kind of tremendous deficit. It’s just like a household,\" he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In years past Bates has attracted support from many of Richmond’s African-American voters, who make up 14 percent of the city's registered voters -- like Frances Adams, an elementary school teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's always been there when we need things for the school, he's always been there to come and talk to the children at school, and I feel that he's served the city of Richmond very well,\" Adams said after a debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt has prioritized building and maintaining parks, preserving historical buildings and adding bike lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These are all things that make Richmond attractive to businesses, attractive to residents and make Richmond thrive -- at least thrive better than they would without them,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Butt's supporters, Jessie West, agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The progressive government we’ve had these last years has done wonderful things for Richmond and we’re really on a roll,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that if Bates gets elected, the progressive agenda will fade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has been attacking that agenda relentlessly with messages on billboards, the airwaves and mailboxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The corporation would like to see McLaughlin fail at her bid for City Council and for Bates to take over as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But residents have seen their city improve under McLaughlin, as the economy has picked up. Unemployment has dropped to 10 percent, though it's still higher than the rest of the Bay Area. And the crime rate has dropped. 2013 had the \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/west-county-times/ci_24856239/richmond-reports-lowest-homicide-total-33-years-credits\" target=\"_blank\">fewest homicides in over 30 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is really no hot-button issue this time around, like the soda tax that failed two years ago. Smith predicts turn out will be low. And that usually benefits the progressives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not clear where that vote comes from in terms of ethnically, class or whatever,\" Smith said about the RPA's constituency. \"But it is clear that on the basis of past elections that they have a pretty good grass-roots mobilization get-out-the-vote campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith says that if you look at Richmond’s politics over time, the rise of McLaughlin and her Richmond Progressive Alliance has actually been surprising. He says the winner of this election will signify whether the city wants to continue this progressive agenda, or return to a more moderate, pro-business leadership.\u003c/p>\n\n",

There are still a lot of votes to be counted, but if the results hold this will be a big loss for the oil giant, which poured at least $3.1 million into this election in Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:20 p.m.: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first results for the Richmond City Council and mayoral races are trickling in, and so far the results are tight. With nearly 4,300 votes counted (mostly vote-by-mail), Councilman Tom Butt has a 300-vote lead over fellow Councilman Nat Bates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt's campaign manager, Alex Knox, said he's cautiously optimistic at this point, but he thinks it might be a close race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So far it's really good. Our initial results are great, but nobody's taking that as any sort of serious indication yet,\" Knox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the results are very early --probably just 20 percent of the total expected-- this might not be good news for Chevron, which spent over $500,000 on billboards, mailers and television ads supporting Bates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the council races, current Mayor Gayle McLaughlin is holding second place spot for now. She's a member of the Richmond Progressive Alliance, and was the target of a large-scale negative campaign funded by Chevron.

He served on the council in the '60s and '70s, and was re-elected in 1995. Bates is heavily supported by Chevron in this race, which has a large refinery in Richmond. The company would like to see someone more sympathetic at the head of the City Council, after McLaughlin took a decidedly adversarial stance against the oil giant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt is 72, and he's been on the council since 1995. McLaughlin and the RPA are endorsing him in this race because he often votes with the progressives on the council, even if he's not officially part of the alliance. He has often worked on compromising with Chevron, most recently on the company's $1 billion refinery modernization project. In that case, he and two other council members helped secure a $90 million community benefits package from the company in exchange for the votes to approve the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two men have been on the City Council for a combined 54 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The candidates in some ways are more similar than not,\" said Robert C. Smith, a political science professor at San Francisco State. He’s been following Richmond politics for decades. \"So it’s not like to elect either one is going to bring about change, so to speak.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fresh face in this race is Uche Uwahemu, a businessman and former social worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They’ve had their opportunity to lead,\" Uwahemu said, referring to Bates and Butt. \"You can’t keep recycling the same folks all the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10346539\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/uwahemu.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10346539\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/uwahemu.jpg\" alt=\"Candidate Uche Justin Uwahemu.

But when it comes to funding those ideas, he’s a bit fuzzy. He also wants to beef up Richmond's port, which he says is underutilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Uwehamu has little campaign cash to spend, and really, little chance of winning this race. Bates, on the other hand, is getting a big chunk of funds from a \u003ca href=\"http://richmondconfidential.org/2014/10/10/3-million-in-chevrons-moving-forward-war-chest/\" target=\"_blank\">$1.3 million super PAC created by Chevron to influence Richmond politics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has poured a total of $3 million into super PACs. A lot of that money is going to negative campaigning against McLaughlin --who's running for council -- and the other RPA council candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if Bates and those forces win, it will be evidence the money made the difference,\" Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates is running on a pro-business platform and promises to get Richmond out of its $7 million deficit, even if it means laying off city workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can’t move a city and you can’t operate a city if you have that kind of tremendous deficit. It’s just like a household,\" he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In years past Bates has attracted support from many of Richmond’s African-American voters, who make up 14 percent of the city's registered voters -- like Frances Adams, an elementary school teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's always been there when we need things for the school, he's always been there to come and talk to the children at school, and I feel that he's served the city of Richmond very well,\" Adams said after a debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt has prioritized building and maintaining parks, preserving historical buildings and adding bike lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These are all things that make Richmond attractive to businesses, attractive to residents and make Richmond thrive -- at least thrive better than they would without them,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Butt's supporters, Jessie West, agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The progressive government we’ve had these last years has done wonderful things for Richmond and we’re really on a roll,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that if Bates gets elected, the progressive agenda will fade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has been attacking that agenda relentlessly with messages on billboards, the airwaves and mailboxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The corporation would like to see McLaughlin fail at her bid for City Council and for Bates to take over as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But residents have seen their city improve under McLaughlin, as the economy has picked up. Unemployment has dropped to 10 percent, though it's still higher than the rest of the Bay Area. And the crime rate has dropped. 2013 had the \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/west-county-times/ci_24856239/richmond-reports-lowest-homicide-total-33-years-credits\" target=\"_blank\">fewest homicides in over 30 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is really no hot-button issue this time around, like the soda tax that failed two years ago. Smith predicts turn out will be low. And that usually benefits the progressives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not clear where that vote comes from in terms of ethnically, class or whatever,\" Smith said about the RPA's constituency. \"But it is clear that on the basis of past elections that they have a pretty good grass-roots mobilization get-out-the-vote campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
