Donna Colson is about commitment. It’s no little deal to give over your whole self to the improvement and enrichment of a city, and she absolutely embodies these ethics. She’s fiscally innovative, leads with integrity; she’s an expert coalition-builder, she goes above and beyond the call. We could not be more proud of her, and we wholeheartedly support her.

Donna Colson is a dynamic and tested community leader who brings a wealth and breadth of experience to her role as a councilmember that continues to benefit her community and the region. I wholeheartedly endorse Donna Colson for reelection to the Burlingame City Council.

Diane Papan
Assemblymember

Donna Colson invests in the success of others, especially the next generation of leaders. As a young person entering my career, she offered to help me explore my interests and understand my options. She provided insightful guidance, invited me to networking events, and introduced me to my future employer. Donna’s disposition for helping others has set me on a path toward a promising future. Her success, expertise, and kindness make her a true role model and inspiration for younger generations. I am forever grateful for Donna’s unwavering support.


Elena Middlemass Student Intern

I have known Donna for nearly two decades and have worked with her on multiple projects including the building of our new Recreation Center and preserving the historic Burlingame Post Office. Whatever Donna sets out to do, she gets it done with her inimitable attention to detail and beauty. She is a Burlingame treasure!
