Jerry Brown is Running AGAIN ? Attorney General ??

Mayor Jerry Brown helped rebuild downtown and raised the expectations of 400,000 residents that Oakland is a world-class city. But it's likely that his legacy will be tempered by how well he dealt with the city's most festering and frustrating problem -- homicide. Despite a series of innovative attempts to cut killings, Brown's final year as mayor has already seen more slayings than in any year since he took office in January 1999.
