"The city of Oakland has hired the former at-large councilmember as a project manager in the city administrator's office. Kaplan started on Sept. 29 as an exempt limited duration employee and her job is to perform policy research with an emphasis on illegal dumping and blight, city spokesperson Sean Maher told The Oaklandside. It's unclear how long she will be in this role."
"Kaplan served for nearly two decades on the city council as the at-large representative. She previously ran an unsuccessful campaign for mayor in 2014, and for a seat on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in 2022. Kaplan's council term ended in January, but at the request of her colleagues she covered the vacancy in District 2 for five months until the election of Charlene Wang. In 2018, Kaplan also unsuccessfully sought a job leading the Metropolitan Transportation Commission."
