Frank Di Pentima | Former Councilman, Finance Executive & Oakland Resident
Frank Di Pentima is a longtime Oakland resident, former Borough Council member, finance executive, and active community volunteer.
In this conversation with host Mike Guadagnino, Frank discusses what motivated him to run for office, what residents should understand about Oakland’s form of government, and the experience, preparation, and commitment required to serve effectively on the Borough Council.
Frank also shares his perspective on municipal finances, public debate, accountability, transparency, and why local elections should be about the people and ideas that will best serve Oakland—not simply political party labels.
The conversation offers residents an opportunity to hear from a former councilman about his experience in local government, the lessons he learned, and his hopes for Oakland’s future.
