Marianne Bordogna has thrown her hat into the race for on of the Danville council seats to be decided on November 4th.

Who would have thought that a community activist who has never run for public office would throw her hat into the ring for the November election of the new Danville Town Council?  Well, it has just happened!!!  Marianne Bordogna, is the “new kid on the block” who has been nominated to have her name on the November ballot.  Until she showed up there were only three incumbents to vote for, and….there were only three spots to fill.  SO…what type of “choice” is that?  Marianne decided that she has sat on the sidelines long enough and is now ready to make a difference in the direction of how The Town Of Danville evolves.  There are many issues facing the Town Council today - Responsible growth in the Tassajara Valley;  Affordable housing; Infrastructure;  Senior Services;  Addressing specific projects, such as the Veteran’s Hall and the Danville Hotel complex; and, many more that need to be effectively addressed.  Marianne has the qualifications and the commitment to address them all!

I had a chance to speak with her today regarding why she believes she would be the best candidate for the Danville Town council.  Marianne told me,  “I am running for town council because I love where we live and want to maintain the uniqueness My experience of resolving issues within the context of the ‘bigger picture’ brings a new voice and a much different perspective in creating solutions that makes us all Danville.”  She laid out five specific items that make up her campaign’s platform;

• Proactively engage San Ramon and county officials on future Tassajara boundaries, which directly impact our town - the unincorporated parts Danville and Blackhawk;
• Seek solutions to traffic and downtown parking via stronger relationships among our school district, businesses, planners and council;
• Expand activities and meeting places for teens, singles and seniors
• Streamline our building permit and planning process for homeowners and builders, while ensuring that appropriate studies, architectural standards, community input and common sense have been applied in decision-making so that new projects (Danville Hotel, Veteran’s Hall) augment our town
• Grow Danville’s business community, while balancing downtown events that attract potential new residents - and revenue.

If elected, she wants to hear from you - often!  She is new to the political arena, but not to leadership roles. I have discovered over the past five years that she listens with an open mind and analyzes the facts, before reaching a decision.  She is a very quick study - and fully committed to win/win outcomes. When she is elected she will implement fiscal policies that continue to enhance all aspects of the quality of life that is so valued in the Danville community.

Obviously, she would appreciate your vote, and I know she would be a welcomed addition to the leadership, and stewardship of the Town of Danville.  Check out her website and learn more about her plans for addressing the important issues that are facing our community - www.DanvilleTownCouncil.com .   Your Bay Area lifestyle detective is always on duty.  Until next time…
