Decades of political heavyweights and Berkeley City Hall insiders crowded into Comal's back patio on a recent evening to pay tribute to Councilwoman Susan Wengraf.

Wengraf, a filmmaker who got her start in politics in the '90s as a legislative aide to Betty Olds, served on the Berkeley City Council for 16 years as the representative for the Berkeley Hills.

"She was ready to retire four years ago and we all pleaded with her to run for one more term," Mayor Jesse Arreguín told the crowd.

[Wise, warm, demanding: Berkeley leaders thank Susan Wengraf“I have not had a single day of regret at this job,” she said at a recent retirement event to recognize her many years of service in Berkeley.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/8e/3b/8e3bb516-9b88-46c2-aa85-566ed9c3647c/content/images/icon/The-Berkeley-Scanner_Icon_Color-1-163.jpg)The Berkeley ScannerEmilie Raguso![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/8e/3b/8e3bb516-9b88-46c2-aa85-566ed9c3647c/content/images/thumbnail/susan-wengraf-BI6A6985.jpg)](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2024/12/10/community/berkeley-city-council-susan-wengraf-retirement/)
