LeRonne Armstrong, the ousted Oakland police chief, is running for city council, his public relations spokesman.
Sam Singer said Armstrong, 51, plans to file paperwork Wednesday morning. Mayor Sheng Thao fired Armstrong in February 2023, citing an outside investigation that found he had allegedly mishandled two police misconduct cases. An arbitrator cleared him of wrongdoing.He later sued Oakland , accusing the mayor of illegally firing him. Eight candidates have already entered the Nov.
He has been publicly backed by the NAACP, where members thought he was wrongly terminated. Armstrong, who was born and raised in Oakland, told KTVU in November 2023, how much he loves The Town, and how much he wishes he could do something to combat crime."It's difficult to hear people talk about how afraid they are to be in the city. It's difficult to hear people feeling like their vehicles or their property isn't safe in the city," he said at the time.
