Rashi Kesarwani, City Council rep for northwest Berkeley, will not run again.

In an in-depth interview with TBS, she shared highlights and insights from her time in office, including lessons learned and hopes for the future.

[Exclusive: Rashi Kesarwani will not seek re-electionIn a deep-dive interview with The Scanner, she looked back at her nearly eight years as the Berkeley City Council member for District 1.![](https://static.ghost.org/v5.0.0/images/link-icon.svg)The Berkeley ScannerEmilie Raguso![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/8e/3b/8e3bb516-9b88-46c2-aa85-566ed9c3647c/content/images/thumbnail/rashi-kesarwani-BI6A4670.jpg)](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2026/04/09/community/rashi-kesarwani-berkeley-city-council-will-not-run-again/)

Reporting this story meant a lot to us. 

It was a rare chance to sit down with a public official for such a comprehensive conversation.

It also allowed us to reflect back on the last eight years in Berkeley and all the reporting we've done: the major shifts, the big meetings, how the city has changed.

This is just the kind of story you won't find anywhere else because no other daily news reporter still working has covered Berkeley as long as we have.
