San Leandro needs leadership that is proactive, leadership that is making the right choices for the city at the right time, creating opportunity, not allowing opportunity to pass us by.

This November you've got two choices for Mayor of San Leandro,businesses as usual or a true path to change, opportunity and moving forward into prosperity. Please vote for me "Dan Dillman" who has fresh idea's passion dedication and experience, I promise when elected Mayor, I will pave our roads to success, and I will never allow an opportunity to pass us by, I hope to have your vote this November.

When I am elected, I will be a proactive leader. I will be aware of actions taken by neighboring cities that may have negative affect on San Leandro, and I will take steps to try to prevent any losses from happening.

If you've been watching, what I've done with the Historic BAL Theatre over the past 5 years "take a run down theatre and turn it into one of the premiere event venues in the entire bay area on a mom and pop, shoe string budget", imagine what I could do for the city of San Leandro with it's resources as Mayor.

I will publicly state, that I believe in your private property rights, I believe in your 1st and 2nd amendment rights, your individual rights to freedom and your rights to the pursuit of happiness. I will publicly tell you that I believe in GOD and the power of prayer.

We need to stop making our decisions based on fear, We are a city of infinite possibilities and we should live in hope and let prosperity thrive.

Together we will accomplish many things, below are just a few.

3. Create Urban Gardens.
4. Put more peace officers on the street.
5. Create a Theatre District.

As Mayor, I will lead, guide and promote our city of infinite possibilities. The people of San Leandro desire a leader in the community who will create opportunity, security, and serve as mediator, and watcher over our local government; establishing accountability and transparency policies, protecting and wisely investing our tax dollars, while promoting our city as the Treasure and the Heart of the Bay Area. My wife and I have dedicated our lives to this community and I will serve you as Mayor with honor, passion, hope, faith and love. Our city's future can continue to be redefined with a strong economy, good schools, safe neighborhoods, thriving businesses, access to healthcare, emerging technologies, vital services, excellent shopping, exceptional dining, and world class entertainment. Together we will enhance the quality of our lives. We must erase the lines of division and clear a bright path to our future. We must strengthen our small business community, while remaining the hometown in which your family, friends and you, want to live and thrive. My experience, dedication, and passion for San Leandro has inspired me to build better bridges to our city's future and if elected, I will pave our roads to success.
