After losing candidate Loren Taylor criticized ranked choice voting, The Oaklandside asked Oakland elections expert and Cal RCV consultant Sean Dugar how the system performed in the 2022 mayor's race. Dugar noted that Oakland never elected a woman mayor before RCV and has elected only women since it arrived in 2010. He added that more Black officials have been elected under RCV than at any other point in the city's history, even as its Black population shrinks.
