"Dennis has proven himself in the trenches in a number of citizen-based campaigns, as well as in his extraordinary commitment to fighting gang violence in Salinas through his leadership of the Second Chance Youth Program. He listens, and he acts."
"Dennis Donohue is not a single issue candidate. I support him for mayor because he clearly understands the importance of affordable housing, economic development, employment, public transportation, public safety and protecting our libraries."
"In working with Dennis, I saw his passion for our city and his dedication to solving problems. His work on the Measure V campaign proved to me that he has the city's best welfare in mind. In my opinion there is no one more qualified and more dedicated to our city than Dennis Donohue. He is the right person to move Salinas forward."
“Dennis is part of a new generation coming forward to lead Salinas. He has the business acumen to address the City’s fiscal issues and the growing needs of our community.”
“What impresses me about Dennis is how at home and comfortable he is with everyone in Salinas. That to me is a very powerful quality. He’s very real and sincere, and his work is often done behind the scenes."
"He’s worked with the LIFE After School tutoring program here at East Salinas Family Center for years without looking for any publicity for himself. Dennis has a heart for all of Salinas. He will pay attention to what people consider to be the important issues.”
