He won the general election on November 2, 2010, with 57.3% of the vote, to the Democratic Party nominee's 36.8%.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-calsecy-10" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[10]</a>

On March 21, 2011, Donnelly went from Sacramento to Fresno to call for the resignation of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_University,Fresno" title="California State University, Fresno" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">California State University, Fresno</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_body_president" title="Student body president" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">student body president</a> Pedro Ramirez during a hearing of the school's student senate committee. Ramirez is an undocumented Mexican immigrant who was on the school's dean's list. He "was injured in a car crash in January 2011" while "driving an intoxicated friend home when he crashed into a tree." Though Ramirez had been sober, "He was investigated for driving without a license" — which is "...a misdemeanor (12500(a) CVC) for which he will likely end up paying a small fine." (Illegal immigrants are not permitted to hold driver's licenses.) Donnelly was subsequently "...heckled..." by the audience of the student body.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-laweekly-11" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[11]</a>

On September 28, 2012, Donnelly spoke at a bi-partisan Medical Freedom Rally with actor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Schneider" title="Rob Schneider" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Rob Schneider</a> urging Governor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Brown" title="Jerry Brown" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jerry Brown</a> to veto AB2109. AB2109 makes it more difficult for parents to utilize philosophical exemptions for exemptions from mandatory childhood vaccines. While the bill was not vetoed, Governor Brown added a signing message instructing the Department of Health to add a religious exemption and to make sure the process is not overly burdensome to parents.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-12" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[12]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-13" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[13]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-14" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[14]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-15" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[15]</a>

Donnelly called for an audit of California's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Protective_Services" title="Child Protective Services" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Child Protective Services</a> along with Assemblyman <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Gatto" title="Mike Gatto" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Mike Gatto</a>, following the case of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sammy_Nikolayev&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Sammy Nikolayev (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">Sammy Nikolayev</a>, who was removed from his parents' home after his parents wanted a second opinion regarding medical treatment.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-16" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[16]</a> The Joint Legislative Audit Committee voted unanimously to audit CPS in three counties in the state of California on June 5.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-17" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[17]</a>

On January 22, 2013 Donnelly announced his bid for California's governorship. He was defeated in the primary election on June 3, 2014 by fellow Republican <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neel_Kashkari" title="Neel Kashkari" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Neel Kashkari</a>, who faces incumbent Governor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Brown" title="Jerry Brown" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jerry Brown</a> in the November general election.

On June 3, 2014, Donnelly lost the primary election. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Brown" title="Jerry Brown" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jerry Brown</a> won with 54.5% of the vote and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neel_Kashkari" title="Neel Kashkari" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Neel Kashkari</a> came in second with 19.0% of the vote, qualifying for the general election. Donnelly came in third with 14.8% of the vote.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly(politician)#cite_note-19" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a> Donnelly pointedly refused to ask his supporters to support the Republican winner, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neel_Kashkari" title="Neel Kashkari" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Neel Kashkari</a>. Neel Kashkari later complimented Donnelly in a statement: "“He has worked tirelessly for the last 18 months, and I commend the dedication of him and his supporters.

California Republican Party Vice-chair Harmeet Dhillon told the Los Angeles Times the Donnelly post was an attempt "to trade on bigotry, racism, hatred of the other, hysteria."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly_(politician)#cite_note-29" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[29]</a>

It is a shame that an elected official uses xenophobic and anti-Muslim rhetoric to discredit a member of his own party," states CAIR-CA in an email. "Mr. Donnelly not only demonized his opponent, but also alienated the entire Muslim electorate. We urge responsible leaders of the Republican Party to repudiate Mr. Donnelly's smear campaign and to marginalize any member of their party who uses such divisive and hateful discourse."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly_(politician)#cite_note-OCISSA-28" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[28]</a>

Primary Republican opponent Neel Kashkari reacted with a statement, "“Once again Assemblyman Donnelly’s comments are outrageous and divisive. This is not who we are as Republicans and is not who we are as Californians. We need positive leadership that unites us to tackle the serious challenges that California families face.” <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donnelly_(politician)#cite_note-31" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[31]</a>
