We’re recommending Ross Bernet for Berkeley City Council D1 for his dedication to housing and safe streets. While serving on the Sierra Club’s executive committee, he’s consistently supported and voted for housing, bike lanes and pedestrian safety, and transit over cars. He is also the only candidate in this crowded race who contributed to the Measure FF campaign, the battle to bring safety improvements to Berkeley’s streets, rather than just repaving them to make it smoother for cars. Finally, he has earned the endorsement of a number of elected officials that we admire and trust: Councilmembers Rashi Kesarwani, Terry Taplin, and Mark Humbert, as well as superstar Assemblymember Buffy Wicks. We strongly support Ross for Berkeley.
