TBS Today, Oct. 22

Come election season, it can be tough to tell the candidates apart, especially if you don't have time to follow City Hall developments throughout the year.

With Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín running for state senate, five people are on the ballot to replace him.

Only three of Berkeley's mayoral candidates — Adena Ishii, Sophie Hahn and Kate Harrison — have participated in this year's candidate forums, and that's who we'll focus on here.

In recent days, we reviewed most of those forums to help you see where the candidates stand on crime and safety.

We also dug into the records of Hahn and Harrison on city policies and council votes on policing over the years.

We look forward to your feedback.

The candidates have similarities, but their positions on policing, the Police Accountability Board and cameras reveal key differences.
