Dear Clayton Community,

This is one of the most important elections in Clayton’s history.  We are at a crossroad, we either rollover and let the state force another 400 to 800 new high-density apartments down our throats or we fight them. 

On one hand, we have two council candidates, Catalano and Cloven that voted to approve a 3-story, 3-building apartment in historic downtown. We have three candidates, Catalano, Cloven and Tillman, that said they will support the state’s mandate of 400 to 800 new high density homes in Clayton-they said, no problem.

On the other hand, we have two candidates Diaz and Gavidia, that voted against this monstrosity in historic downtown. We have three candidates, Diaz, Gavidia and Miller, that will fight against the state’s draconian mandates.

The choice is simple, we either elect candidates that will fight or we elect candidates that will be advocates for the state destructive housing plan and let them destroy our little town-as they said, NO PROBLEM.

Please give Clayton a fighting chance and vote for Diaz, Gavidia and Miller.

Sincerely,

Bill Walcutt
