> Early this year, Berke exceeded his goal of creating 1,000 additional quality early learning seats, with the help of the Office of Early Learning he created in 2017.

> In 2020, the city achieved “functional zero” status for veteran homelessness by heavily funding homeless initiatives and housing hundreds of veterans.
