She currently serves as City Councilmember At-Large for Oakland, California[1][2] and finished second in the race for Oakland mayor in the November, 2014 election.[3] She previously ran for Oakland mayor in 2010 and placed third.[4] Career in elected office{{BLP sources section|date=August 2014}}Oakland City Councilmember At-LargeKaplan's contributions to Oakland policy making have included a focus on budget balancing measures, legislation which eased the permit process for new restaurants, creating a new public transit line downtown, and re-working and passing a law which mandates registration of abandoned and vacant buildings.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} Budget-balancing measuresIn 2009, Oakland's budget shortfall ran into the tens of millions, and as a solution, Kaplan proposed Measure F, which raised taxes on medical cannabis businesses.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} The measure, which dramatically increased taxes on these businesses, was strongly supported by the businesses themselves.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} Kaplan received national media attention from this initiative, appearing on PBS's NewsHour and Fox Business Network to discuss it.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} The measure passed overwhelmingly in a special election.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} Three other ballot measures, also campaigned for by Kaplan, were passed in a successful effort to balance the year's budget.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} Vacant building registrationAlso in 2009, Kaplan re-designed a failed City Council measure which would require owners of certain vacant properties to register their buildings with the city.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} Oakland's vacancy problem had led to rampant use of empty buildings for illegal activities, and earlier in the year, Councilmember Desley Brooks had attempted to pass similar legislation, which had been voted down due to unclear language and an overly aggressive{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} fine regime. Kaplan re-wrote the measure with a simpler scope, and was able to pass it by a wide margin of support.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} Cutting ties with ICEOn August 2017, Oakland police officers provided traffic assistance to ICE agents in a immigration raid in West Oakland leading to the detainment of two men, neither ever having been convicted or charged with a crime[5]. Fearing that residents would experience a chilling effect from the incident and would be less willing to call on police for support, Kaplan proposed a resolution upholding the city's sanctuary city status by stipulating that the Oakland Police Department be prevented from colluding and assisting with ICE.[6]According to a statement from Kaplan, " The head of ICE has made public statements that have helped make it more clear that ICE is not actually focusing on solving serious and violent crime, but is focused on being part of (President Donald) Trump's political vendetta."[5] Co-sponsored by Councilwoman Desley Brooks, the resolution passed city council unanimously.[7] Election historyIn November 2008, Kaplan won her current post in a run-off election against BART executive Kerry Hamill[8] by a margin of 62% to 37%, with Kaplan receiving a total of 82,531 votes to Hamill's 50,387.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} She succeeded Henry Chang, Jr., against whom Kaplan had campaigned unsuccessfully in 2000.[1] Kaplan previously served as the Member At-Large on the Alameda – Contra Costa Transit Board of Directors, elected unopposed in 2002 and re-elected in 2006.[1] In this post, she represented 1.5 million residents[1] of western Alameda and Contra Costa counties. In 2000 Kaplan ran for Oakland city council registered with the Green Party,[9] an affiliation held until she switched to the Democratic Party in 2008.[10] In April 2010 Kaplan formed a campaign committee to explore running for Oakland mayor.[11][12] In the November election Kaplan placed third in ranked choice balloting after winner Jean Quan and runner-up Don Perata.[4] Kaplan ran again for Oakland mayor in 2014, coming in second in the ranked choice ballot to councilwoman Libby Schaaf.[13] Personal lifeKaplan is bisexual,[14] and has been identified as a lesbian in the press.[15] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news | title = Bi woman runs for Oakland city council | first = Matthew S. | last = Bajko | url = http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=2749 | newspaper = Bay Area Reporter | date = February 28, 2008 | accessdate = February 12, 2010}} 2. ^{{cite news | title = Tactics against big Prop. 8 backer go too far | first = Chip | last = Johnson | url = http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/01/22/BA6T1BL582.DTL | newspaper = San Francisco Chronicle | date = January 22, 2010 | accessdate = February 12, 2010 | quote = Rebecca Kaplan, the at-large member of the City Council, and a lesbian...}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/31/us/a-long-slate-of-mayoral-candidates-hints-at-a-rapidly-changing-oakland.html|publisher=New York Times|date=2014-07-30|title=A Long Slate of Mayoral Candidates Hints at a Rapidly Changing Oakland|author=Melena Ryzik}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|last=Gammon |first=Robert |url=http://www.eastbayexpress.com/92510/archives/2010/11/10/breaking-news-jean-quan-wins-mayors-race |title=Breaking News: Jean Quan Wins Mayor'S Race |publisher=Eastbayexpress.com |date=2010-11-10 |accessdate=2013-12-05}} 5. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/01/17/oakland-cuts-ties-with-ice-in-response-to-controversial-raid/|title=Oakland cuts ties with ICE in response to controversial raid|date=2018-01-17|work=East Bay Times|access-date=2018-02-06|language=en-US}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.oaklandpost.org/2018/01/19/oakland-city-council-passes-kaplans-resolution-cut-ties-ice/|title=Oakland City Council Passes Kaplan’s Resolution to Cut Ties with ICE|date=2018-01-19|work=Oakland Post|access-date=2018-02-06|language=en-US}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/01/17/oakland-cuts-ties-with-ice-in-response-to-controversial-raid/|title=Oakland cuts ties with ICE in response to controversial raid|date=2018-01-17|work=East Bay Times|access-date=2018-02-06|language=en-US}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite news | title = Oakland runoff: old guard vs. outsider | first = Christopher | last = Heredia | url = http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/14/BAMF13GBCA.DTL | newspaper = San Francisco Chronicle | date = October 14, 2008 | accessdate = February 12, 2010 | quote = Oakland school board member Kerry Hamill faces AC Transit board member Rebecca Kaplan ... to replace incumbent Councilman Henry Chang Jr., who served 14 years in the citywide seat.}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.greens.org/s-r/22/22-06.html |title=Why We Run |publisher=Greens.org |date=2000-02-01 |accessdate=2013-12-05}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIQhHOmAhlk |title=Rebecca Kaplan on switching parties |publisher=Youtube.com |date= |accessdate=2013-12-05}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_14874768 |title=Oakland Councilmember Kaplan forms mayoral campaign committee |publisher=Insidebayarea.com |date=2010-04-13 |accessdate=2013-12-05}} 12. ^{{cite interview|url=http://oaklandlocal.com/article/rebecca-kaplan-why-did-she-enter-race-mayor-oakland-exclusive-depth-interview |title=Rebecca Kaplan: Why Did She Enter the Race for Mayor of Oakland?
