Welcome to the Campaign!
Candidate Statement of Qualifications
I am running for town council because I love where we live and want to maintain the uniqueness that makes us Danville. My experience of resolving issues within the context of the ‘bigger picture’ brings a new voice and different perspective in creating solutions.
My platform focuses on enhancing our quality of life. I will:
- Proactively engage San Ramon and county officials on future Tassajara boundaries, which directly impact our town, unincorporated 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, I want to hear from you. I am new to the political arena, but not to leadership roles. I listen with an open mind and analyze the facts, before reaching a decision. I’m a quick study - and fully committed to the best outcome. With your support, I will implement fiscal policies that continue to enhance our Danville experience. I would truly appreciate your vote and thank you, in advance, for the privilege of representing you.
Background:
- Danville resident-1985.
- Former telecom and global management consulting executive
- Managed $100M+ budgets/projects, re-engineered businesses to profitability.
Education:
- Edinboro, Golden Gate and Carnegie Mellon Universities.
Member:
- Professional BusinessWomen of California Advisory Council
- Local and national Realtor associations
- Creator-”Dogs of Danville” calendar

Who would have thought that a community activisit 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!
If you would like to meet Marianne and get a first hand glimpse as to what she will contribute to the quality of life of The Town of Danville, show up at the Sycamore South Side clubhouse at the corner of Sycamore Valley Road and Greenbrook Drive on Wednesday, September 10th from 6PM to 8PM. Not only will you have a chance to speak face to face with Marianne, but you will also meet some other extraordinary people who believe she will make a difference in our community that many of us have been waiting for for quite some time. If you are going to join her on Wednesday evening, email her so she can put you on her RSVP list.

So, what is it about the Hot Summer Nights car show that draws thousands of people to downtown Danville? Is it the fact that it usually IS a hot summer night? Is it the memories evoked from a simpler time? Or, is it the CARS? Continue reading →
