A Berkeley that Works for You

Greg is running for District 4 to give back to the community that helped him find his voice and instilled in him the values of political activism. Greg has worked with and for people as a teacher, an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer, an elder meals-on-wheels program manager, a senior legislative aide in the Berkeley Mayor’s Office, and a housing-rights activist. His breadth of experience and knowledge of policy making on the local, regional, and state levels make him the right person to keep Berkeley a welcoming and inclusive home for all.
