New Leadership for District 3
As the son of a union lawyer and high school teacher, the values of community service were instilled in Danny from an early age.
In an election year, many people have appeared for the first time and some candidates have moved to District 3 just to run for office. But Danny doesn’t see our neighborhoods as political stepping stones. He has been showing up for our community for over a decade. District 3 deserves someone who knows these neighborhoods and is ready to deliver results.
This moment calls for new leadership from the community, not the connected. If elected, Danny would be the youngest member of the Board of Supervisors and one of only two renters on the entire Board of Supervisors. He would also be one of the few members on the Board with small business experience.

A"stellar candidate" who is "supremely qualified."
"Danny Sauter, by contrast, has quietly put his head down and worked for years to make life better for district residents.”
Let’s get our city back on track.
Safer Neighborhoods
Danny will hire more first responders, from police officers to 911 dispatchers, and make sure they are responsive to our diverse communities to keep us safe.
Clean Streets
Danny will add 1,500 new trash cans, create new street cleaning teams, plant more trees, and make sure we take vandalism and graffiti seriously. Read his clean streets plan.
More Housing and Renter Protections
Danny will make it easier and faster for new homes to be built, bringing down the cost of living for all of us. As a renter himself, Danny will always fight to protect rent control.
Treatment, Not Tents
Danny will expand conservatorship for those who need mandated mental health treatment, arrest and incarcerate drug dealers, and lower barriers to accessing recovery.
