Answers to Candidate Questionnaire

By Clayton Watch

Dear Clayton Community,

The Clayton Watch Team is thrilled to share with you the answers to the Candidate Questionnaire that was sent out to four candidates vying for three spots on the city council this year: Rich Enea Sr, Maria Shulman, Mayor Jim Diaz, and council member Holly Tillman.

Recognizing the challenges and costs candidates face in reaching voters in Clayton, the Clayton Watch Team has stepped in to assist by providing a platform for them to share their answers to important campaign questions submitted by the community.

We reached out to each candidate via email inviting them to participate in our Candidate Questionnnaire. (The letter has been provided below for your review.)

Three candidates took the opportunity to respond: Rich Enea Sr, Maria Shulman, and Mayor Jim Diaz. Unfortunately, Councilmember Holly Tillman sent us a message that she would not be participating.

You can access their candidate questionnaires and responses by clicking here.

Currently, Clayton Watch is averaging 1,200 views a day and growing.

Thank you for your support!

  2. Yeah, I'm sure she just politely "declined." This website shouts non partisan!

    1. Ed, she had the opportunity to reply just like the other three candidates did. It's important for you to check the email that was sent to everyone. Not replying was a significant political blunder on her part, and she will have to deal with the fallout. Trying to ignore her previous political statements is a misstep. She must have realized that her past remarks and actions would eventually come to light. I have a feeling there’s more to unfold.

  3. Simply put, Holly believes she is better than everyone else. She has an elitist attitude just like Peter. Watch her, if you don't agree with her, she ignores you and walks by. She did this at the 9/17 council meeting at the end.
