The candidates have entered the May 28 special election to replace a council member who abruptly resigned.
BERKELEY — Four candidates have entered the May 28 special election to fill a vacant seat on the Berkeley City Council, with each of them arguing they are the best suited to address the city’s most pressing issues.
Harrison was the second council member to abruptly depart earlier this year. Councilmember Rigel Robinson stepped down just weeks before and suspended his mayoral campaign. Harris has continued her run for mayor. “I’m a proud progressive, renter and transit rider committed to uplifting diverse voices,” Hernández Story said.
“I’m frustrated by the power given to developer and corporate interests, leading to policies that exclude our community’s needs,” read Auerbach’s questionnaire. “By leading with the courage of my convictions, we will re-energize our democracy so that all voices are valued and respected.”
