2024 started off with two special elections, for City Council Districts 7 and 4, following the resignations of the incumbent councilmembers in those districts. BNHCA did not endorse in the District 7 race or hold candidate forums for District 4 due to scheduling limitations. However, we did invite District 4 candidates to respond to questionnaires for consideration for endorsement.
After reviewing responses to questionnaires and the candidate's records, BNHCA has officially endorsed the following candidates for the District 4 special election. We believe these individuals will be the strongest advocates for meaningful, effective housing & climate action on Berkeley City Council.
BNHCA is also endorsing ballot measures. As of April 2024, we are endorsing the SAFE STRETS Initiative, a parcel tax for street repair and safety and environmental enhancements. We will review other measures that qualify for the ballot in August or September and release additional endorsements then.
We encourage all BNHCA members to donate and volunteer to our endorsed candidates and measures! Click their names above to be taken to their websites.
