Clayton Community,
Just a Reminder!
Don't miss the Candidate Forum on Wednesday, October 2nd at 7 p.m. The Clayton Community Library Foundation, in collaboration with the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, is excited to present a Candidate Forum for the Clayton City Council.
This event will take place at Hoyer Hall from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
While the specific questions remain a mystery, I hope they include some audience inquiries.
If you’re planning to attend, it might be worthwhile to engage Holly Tillman with some questions regarding her previous remarks about Clayton being a racist city, her issue of police profiling, and her worries about residents feeling unsafe enough to stay indoors at night.
Additionally, it would be interesting to inquire why she hasn’t cast a vote on the city budget for the past two years, and what her reasoning is behind supporting a $400 annual parcel tax despite the city having over $7 million in reserves. Earlier this year, she referred to the City of Clayton as "hoarders" while advocating for a sales tax increase.
As for the three other candidates, they to need to be ask hard questions too - such as how they plan to heal the community divide, and what’s their position on high-density housing, landscape maintenance, and higher taxes?
If you can’t make it in person, you can still catch the Forum on Zoom through this link. https://claytonca.gov/

Great post. Can't wait to hear what they have to say on Wednesday. No new taxes!
ReplyDeletevirtual/zoom, too?
DeleteVirtual/Zoom?
ReplyDeleteZoom zoom! Don’t miss it.
DeleteTax and spend without looking at our checkbook? Sounds like we have been over taxed for years. I remember years ago when Ms Tillman made the comment about our city being racist and our police profiling. It was disgusting and a total embarrassment for all of us. I even received calls from friends from outside Clayton and they couldn’t believe what they were hearing. Hopefully this time around this event will be better run and the audience can ask specific questions. Last time we had to listen to all the ballot measures first and it was the most boring thing you could’ve listened to. Please have the candidate forum first.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that this election cycle she isn’t talking about that at all. She’s running as a MAGA police loving Republican! Red blazer and all! Holly, all you need is a red MAGA hat. But she’s a progressive she says, 4 years ago she said whatever it took to get elected and now she’s changed her image and is saying anything to get elected again. Does she stand for anything at all?
DeleteYou can attend in-person or submit your questions by emailing to shawn@lwvdv.org by Monday, September 30th. Clayton residents, be sure to ask questions this time around and let’s not make the same mistake twice.
ReplyDeleteHolly did her usual me, me, me. She has got to go. All talk no action
ReplyDeleteHolly has served as a council member for four years. What are her accomplishments during her time in office? She has proposed tax increases without providing supporting data. In town meetings, her behavior often shows contempt and a lack of respect for other council members (see video replays of the 2020-2024 council meetings). She isolates herself and demonstrates an inability to collaborate with her colleagues. Therefore, it would be best for our Clayton community and its needs to have a new council member replace her in the upcoming election.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Time for Holly to hit the road with her mean girl attitude.
DeleteThe chip on the Holly Tillman shoulder must be awfully heavy. She needed to bring out-of-town supporters into Clayton who have no vote here.
DeleteHolly doesn't realize their no "I" in the word team.
DeleteHolly should tell the Clayton community why she said people are afraid to come out of their homes at night, why she said the Clayton Police profile, and why now this is a wonderful town. How can this be a wonderful place to live with people being afraid and police profiling. Do you think she is lying (making untrue statements with intent to deceive) then or now?
ReplyDeleteTillman lies like a rug and is just as dirty.
DeleteThe League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley should be embarrassed. The candidates form was a complete fiasco and a joke. The moderator had no clue what he was doing and wasted time worrying about who would answer the question first. The two questions that really teed me off were the one about the gay parade, and the other one about how the city council could help with the poor economic conditions affecting all of us. Both were inappropriate and should’ve never been asked. in addition, listening to Holly Tillman boast about all her endorsements was sickening. Let’s not forget this is a non-partisan election for a town of 11,000 people. Why in the hell would she need to get all these endorsements, it makes no sense.
