"Donnellan has spent his entire adult life serving the residents of San Mateo County in some manner. He understands that people who live on the coastside face different issues than those who live in Menlo Park. That's important for a judge who will be dealing with the ins and outs of jury selection, family disputes and calendaring hearings. Donnellan appears ready to take whatever duties the job throws at him."
"He also has broad support in the legal community, not just from his colleagues in the District Attorney's Office, defense attorneys have supported him as well, which indicates to us they think he will be a fair jurist. It's telling that his opponent, Santa Clara County Chief Deputy DA Jay Boyarsky, has tried multiple ways to become a judge in Santa Clara County, but hasn't been able to get the job."
"Now he's trying to get elected in San Mateo County, which smells like someone who just wants the title. Donnellan convinced us that he's not seeking the seat as a resume builder, but to serve the people of San Mateo County."
Brian Donnellan is urged for San Mateo County Superior Court Judge. He is described as having spent his entire adult life serving San Mateo County residents in some capacity. His understanding of differing issues between the coastside and Menlo Park is presented as important for handling jury selection, family disputes, and calendaring hearings. Support from the legal community is cited, including both colleagues in the District Attorney’s Office and defense attorneys, as evidence of fairness. His opponent, Jay Boyarsky, is portrayed as repeatedly seeking judicial roles in Santa Clara County without success and then running in San Mateo County, framed as a desire for the title rather than service.
