Letter: Antioch District 4 Should Avoid Amateur Hour and Re-Elect Monica Wilson

The following Letter to the Editor was submitted by Warren Lutz in support of Monica Wilson for Antioch City Council District 4. The City of Antioch will face difficult budget decisions over the next several years. The people voters choose to serve on the city council not only need to know how the city’s finances work, but how to protect critical services and resources for Antioch residents, especially the most vulnerable in our community. They also need to know how to create policy, collaborate, and build consensus among a frequently divided council.

Downtown Berkeley council race highlights progressive divide

Downtown Berkeley's City Council race pits an established incumbent against a challenger from the left who says City Hall is too beholden to special interests. The differences between Councilman Igor Tregub and Majdi Gaith Abuhamdieh were on display during a Sept. 28 League of Women Voters forum, where they addressed downtown vacancies, public safety and city finances, among other subjects. Gaith, a Palestinian American and co-founder of Jaffa Coffee Roasters , repeatedly criticized Tregub's record, accusing him of favoring developers and corporations over residents and small businesses. Tregub, who narrowly won office in a special election in 2024 after decades of public service, defended his accomplishments and emphasized his ability to deliver results. Tregub has endorsements from Mayor Adena Ishii, state Sen. Jesse Arreguín, the local Sierra Club , organized labor and many other elected officials. Gaith has support from Our Revolution East Bay , the Alameda County Green Party , the progressive group Flip the Berkeley City Council and former Berkeley council members Cheryl Davila and Kriss Worthington, among others. On public accountability Gaith said he would work to ensure more community voices are heard and urged current city leaders to "take note." He described himself as a "disgruntled
