Thanks to all the veterans who served to defend our country and keep us safe — especially my dad, Earl, who commanded a Titan II missile in the US Air Force. Happy Veterans Day!

My team and I enjoyed our walk with Councilmember Shoshana O’Keefe and Bob & Emma from the Berkeley Path Wanderers to discuss plans to upgrade Keeler Path near Remillard Park. Thanks for the tour! (And thanks to Shoshana’s mom for the cookies!)

Thanks to all of the constituents that joined my team and me for our September office hours, held at the Berkeley Rose Garden! It was great to catch up with so many neighbors to hear what’s on their mind and learn more about how we can help. Look forward to the next one!

Had a wonderful time at yesterday’s Solano Stroll! Thanks to all the friends, neighbors, and colleagues who marched with us in the parade and stopped by our booth. Always great to celebrate our beautiful community while getting feedback on how to make Berkeley even better!

Successful weekend of vegetation cleanup and wildfire preparedness with my Zone Zero assistant. (Look at that big pile of branches ready for Berkeley’s free chipper program!) But lots more work still to do… #ZoneZero #EMBER #wildfiresafety #FireSafeBerkekey

Proud to join my council colleagues in approving bold new Middle Housing zoning standards, which will add gentle housing density in neighborhoods outside fire hazard zones. Together we can make Berkeley better, safer, more affordable, and more welcoming for more families who want to live here!

As Trump’s ICE ramps up deportations, we must stand strong. I was proud to author Berkeley’s latest Sanctuary resolution, passed by the City Council last Tuesday. Thanks to @adenaishii.bsky.social @cecilialunaparra.bsky.social @taplinterry.bsky.social & colleagues at BUSD and EB Sanctuary Covenant!

Wonderful to be in community with friends and neighbors from across Berkeley at this morning’s MLK Day breakfast, a welcome contrast with inaugural events in DC. Together, we recommit to the hard work ahead to move all of Berkeley forward — and defend our progressive values.
