Igor Tregub Priorities
Igor Tregub is the candidate for City Council with the experience we need, the dedication we deserve, and the progressive values we share.
​
Igor is already working hard for you, and he is ready to continue his service on the City Council, creating positive change and fostering a more inclusive and equitable Berkeley for all.
Fight for a Berkeley we can all call home.
A twice-elected Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board Member, Igor has championed every ballot measure to invest in affordable housing and to expand tenant protections. Using every available strategy and resource available, Igor’s top priority is to expand the dream of housing affordability and home ownership to Berkeleyans struggling to make it in our city.
Prioritize a safe and vibrant downtown.
The District 4 Councilmember has the distinct honor and responsibility of representing Downtown Berkeley, the heart of our city. Igor will work closely with small business owners, city officials, and nonprofits to make our downtown the envy of the Bay Area. That requires smart approaches to public safety and a willingness to listen to impacted businesses. Downtown Berkeley should be an inviting and welcoming destination for all.
Help the unhoused rebuild their lives.
While Berkeley has seen a reduction in homelessness in recent years, far too many people are living on the streets. This puts an enormous strain on the unhoused and our community. Igor will embrace a housing first approach that gets people off the streets and into supportive environments with wraparound services and treatment as needed. With a track record of building consensus to get things done, he will partner on a regional level with our neighbors to tackle the homelessness crisis from every direction.
Champion bold climate leadership.
Berkeley has always led the way on the environment, often with Igor’s leadership. Igor is a clean energy policy expert, and he will prioritize making Berkeley the first carbon-free city in the nation, including expanding public EV charging infrastructure, localized solar energy, battery storage, and microgrids - with an emphasis on helping renters and all those who have been left behind in the clean energy transition access their benefits.
Embrace Walkability, Bikeability, and Transit Accessibility throughout Berkeley.
Igor is focused on making Berkeley streets safe for everyone, including bicyclists, seniors, and people with disabilities. He has close working relationships with leaders at BART and AC Transit - including being entrusted by his peers to serve as chair of the AC Transit Parcel Tax Oversight Committee - and will make sure that Berkeley is doing its part to accelerate seamless mobility across transit agencies.
