Campaign themes

2016

During his 2016 campaign, Donnelly said, "I have worked hard to provide safe and comfortable homes for hundreds of residents of district 3.... The quality of life has deteriorated in our district and I want to turn that around. We need to tackle the homeless problem, increase off-street parking, improve police presence and response and get our hard earned money's worth."[1]

Donnelly's 2016 campaign website linked to a video about his candidacy.[1][4] His website also highlighted the following issues:

I strongly believe we need to:

  • enhance police presence and response to curb escalating crime. The break-ins are out of control and there are too many unstable individuals wandering our neighborhoods.
  • restore off-street parking for residents, businesses and visitors and to allow flexibility with curb-side spaces. Vanishing parking spaces are increasing traffic, pollution and frustration, making our streets less safe.
  • give a hand up to those who are struggling, without enabling substance abuse or condoning bad behavior. Putting a 'Navigation Center' in our district is a risky idea, and should have full community input, if it to be considered.
  • respect building height limits. Our district already has the highest density in San Francisco.
  • update and expand rent control. Our neighbors and vital businesses should not be forced out by exorbitant rent increases.
  • give residents a voice in changes made to their neighborhood. The City has been making drastic changes to the landscape and character of neighborhoods despite overwhelming opposition from those who are most affected.
  • maintain our parks and roads without selling bonds to do so. We need more efficiency from City Hall.
  • improve our schools and offer neighborhood enrollment options.
  • elect a supervisor who is focused on the 'quality of life' of our district above all else.
  • And while were at it, let's get 16 full ounces when we order a pint![4][5]
