Berkeley residents gathered Sunday to elect a progressive pro-tenant rent board slate to run in the November local election.

More than 100 people came to the Berkeley Tenant Convention, where ultimately four candidates — incumbents Asa Dodsworth, Igor Tregub, Judy Shelton and UC Berkeley graduate Alejandro Soto-Vigil — were chosen to run for the four city Rent Stabilization Board commissioner positions up for election this year.

A total of seven candidates ran for the slate, including campus graduate John Nguyen, Mills College graduate student Audra Caravas and City Planning Commissioner Patti Dacey.

Congratulations to Mr. Igor Tregub and the other pro-tenant candidates elected!
