Berkeley councilor Rigel Robinson resigns, citing harassment, burn out
Briefly

I am burnt out. My tank is empty. I have been in a perpetual state of stress and exhaustion for as long as I can remember. It is not sustainable or healthy, and I need to make a significant lifestyle change.
According to the city's charter, an interim councilmember can not be appointed to the office. Instead, a special, one-off election will be held to fill Robinson's vacated District 7 seat through the end of the term in 2026. This will occur sometime between the upcoming March primary and the November general election, per charter rules.
