Dan Kalb is an American politician. He represents District 1 on the Oakland City Council, a position he has held since January 2013.[1][2]

Education

In 1982, Kalb received an undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Conservation of Natural Resources. In 1988 he received a master's degree in Public and Nonprofit Administration from the University of San Francisco.[3]

Career

Kalb was California Policy Director at the Union of Concerned Scientists, which he joined in 2003.[4][3] where he worked on clean energy and climate legislation. Before joining UCS he worked as director of a Sierra Club chapter and for California Common Cause, Media Alliance and CalPIRG.[5]

After being elected to the Oakland City council a year earlier, in 2014 Kalb led[6][7][8] a proposal to substantially strengthen the Oakland Public Ethics Commission (PEC). The Charter measure was voted on in the general election of November 2014. It passed with over 72% of the vote.

In 2018 he ran for California's 15th State Assembly district but lost to Jovanka Beckles by 0.6% for the second slot to run in the runoff against Buffy Wicks.[9]
