Hi John,
In 2014, Missouri native
Rigel Robinson started at UC Berkeley, ready to learn and to fall in love with the city he'd call home.
Four years later, just as he was about to graduate, folks started clamoring for him to run for office.
After sitting down to hear his story and contagious love for his city firsthand, it's clear why so many urged him to become a community leader.
Rigel jumped in the race,
won, and throughout his first term as Berkeley city councilmember, has driven progress and reform. He's taken on policing and housing and broadened what is possible for municipal government. You're going to love his passion, his intellect, and maybe even feel inspired to Run for Something, too.
