The 2006 Oakland mayoral election was held on June 7, 2006[1] to elect the mayor of Oakland, California. It saw the election of Ron Dellums.
Incumbent mayor Jerry Brown did not seek reelection to a third term, instead opting to run in the 2006 California Attorney General election.
A 50% margin of the vote needed to be obtained by the victor in order to avoid a runoff being held in November.[1] Dellums surpassed this margin by a mere 115 votes, thus no runoff was necessitated.[2]
