Letter to Chair White Insisting ANC8A Find a Vacancy in ANC8A03 After Evidence Show Cmr Holly Muhammad Does Not Live at Property Owned by Friend & Fellow ANC8A Cmr Barbra Clark
During the February Meeting of Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) ANC8A Meeting, a motion was made to ban Tom Donohue a 9 year resident of Ward 8 and small business owner after Tom attempted to discuss matters the ANC has refused to address such as, ANC Commissioner Holly Muhammad’s use of fellow ANC8A Commissioner Barbara Clark’s physical address. (Ms. Clark owns two properties in Ward 8) Ms. Muhammad uses Ms. Clark’s address as her own in order to be able to run for public office. After nearly ten attempts to serve a civil complaint upon Ms. Muhammad three attempts by MPD and seven attempts by a private process server (one during a regular meeting of the ANC) All attempts failed as Ms. Muhammad was not home. The process server in court documents swore that neighbors told them that no one by that name even lives there. (see attached affidavits)
During the February 28, 2023 Meet up with Mendelson, Phil Mendelson Chairman of Washington DC City Council said “An ANC does not have the right to ban somebody”
Reasoning for the commission wanting to ban Donohue is because Donohue has had multiple matters including whether Muhammad lives where she does along with quarterly financial reports for two years not being signed or discussed during any ANC Meetings from being submittted to the ANC. Donohue has submitted multiple FOIA requests to the OANC and to Chairwoman White of which have been ignored. Tom has proof that two very different QFR for same periods of time have been submitted to the OANC none of which show any signatures and there is no evidence of any minutues taken of any of these meetings to show that the QFR were brought before the commission during an open meeting for approval.
With Donohue attempting to bring these matters before via the chat messaging feature of Zoom, Commissioners proceeded to make a motion to Ban Donohue from futyure meetings. Chairwoman White moved away from. A FOIA request along with a sunpoena from Superior Court have not resulted in a recording from the ANC being turned over to Tom Donohue as of the time of publishing.
Commissioner Holly Muhammad’s hate towards people makes her unable to represent them. Holly’s reign of any political position shall come to an end.
In March 2022 Holly moved from her residence however never let anyone know
until Tom got a lead from someone who told him she had moved out of ANC 8A01. Tom researched this lead, found it to be 100% credible and informed the
Board of Elections. When word got to Holly, she immediately submitted a change of address with the BOE and posted a PO Box, making her the only ANC
Commissioner to refuse to make public her physical address by filing a PO Box.
Tom requested the listing of registered voters in DC and within
held Holly Muhammad’s new physical address its located-on Minnesota Avenue in SE DC. Upon further review in My Tax DC, this property is co-owner by Commissioner Barbara J. Clark that’s right Holly’s ally Commissioner in the
same Commission just a different single member district.
Lets Recap!
1. Holly over looks notifying anyone of her move for months
2. Once it was known she moved, she filed an change of address with the BOE
3. She becomes the only Commissioner who chooses to list her PO Box as her address as a public ANC Commissioner
4. Holly’s listed’s physical address is listed as that owned by her fellow Commissioner Barbra J. Clark
Holly removed Tom Donohue from an ANC virtual meeting after Tom types note encouraging her to move on from an argument between her and another commissioner (again he only supported other neighbors who started telling them to move on and again this was only a text message in the chat)
Holly then blocked Tom from attending six months’ worth of ANC Meetings
She refused to comply with Freedom of Information Act Requests, which remain outstanding.
Holly has someone circulate a flyer with Toms picture on it to all his neighbors with in a several block radius
In retaliation to a warranted recall Holly has printed on the recall petition that Tom is a racist, that he hates black women and Muslims.
Commission leadership allows Holly to personally attack Tom during a public ANC Meeting and prevents Tom from representing the recall petition to the entire ANC meeting (See https://recallinghollymuhammad.com/2022/05/04/racist/)
Just as Commissioner Muhammad has been steadfast towards tarnishing my reputation, I will double down in assuming she will lose her ANC election no matter where she ‘says’ she lives.
Ms. Muhammad is full of hate, as a gay male myself I know firsthand that hate never wins the only thing I can hope for is that Holly finds love within her to accept and love others, I am confident my neighbors in Ward 8 will find Holly’s hate and desire to tarnish others for her gain has no room in Ward 8 politics. The days of her demands and her treating people with disrespect are coming to an end. I will do everything within my ability to inform my neighbors of her actions, make her accountable for them and see she will never have an elected role within DC government again.
I call upon the Democratic party to denounce Holly’s behavior and ask they not support Holly’s election. They have sat by too long watching her represent the democratic party with disgust.
Tom Donohue
ANC 8A01 Resident, Small Business Owner
Tom Donohue turns his signature collection efforts into identifying someone who will run against Ms. Muhammad.
I am confident that my neighbors will dismiss Ms. Muhammad’s false claims against me. With no evidence of her claims, I hope this backfires against her and that my neighbors will see her attempt to discredit me a disgrace. It’s disgusting for Ms. Muhammad to use the black community, females and her Muslim communities as a distraction from her own actions and behaviors all of which are well documented. How ironic would it be if each of the communities she attempted to use to discredit me is credited to bringing her reign of Commissioner to an end” says Tom Donohue.He anticipates he will identify someone within ANC8A01 who will want to bring positive change and who will be electable and will not need to run, however he makes that commitment to his neighbors that she will not run unopposed. He looks forward to the Democratic Party supporting a candidate who listens, acts responsibility and can represent ANC 8A01 with dignity. Anyone interested in learning more about being an ANC Commissioner or who would like Mr. Donohue’s support for their candidacy is encouraged to contact him at tom@tmdenterprises.us.
