Alameda County
Why does this race matter?
Supervisor Keith Carson’s decision to step down from his District 5 seat after eight terms has launched one of the most contested elections in the Bay Area this year — at least, in terms of the number of candidates running. Eight are vying for the seat that represents all of Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville, Piedmont and part of Oakland.
What does a county supervisor do?
Supervisors govern county programs and departments and approve the county budget. Their largest area of spending is traditionally health care and human services. Supervisors are also responsible for local jails and elections, and they make decisions on law enforcement and housing in unincorporated areas of the county. If a supervisor candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the primary, they take office for a four-year term. Otherwise, the top two candidates face off in the November general election.
