8A03 Commissioner Holly Muhammad’s False Claims, How 8A Commissioners Did Nothing Then Violated DC Law

Cmr Holly Muhammad’s LIES about candidate Tom Donohue needs challenged as Holly has never supported her claims & ANC8A commissioners volated the law by not hosting speccial meeting

ANC8A01 candidate, Tom Donohue, has issued a call to action to constituents of ANC8A. After over two years Donohue asks constituents of ANC8A to demand Holly Muhammad provide anything to support claims Donohue is a racist, that he hates Black Women & Muslims. He also points to every ANC8A Commissioner who has ignored two letters from the Board oF Elections instructing Chair Jamia White to host a Special Meeting on Holly Muhammad’s Claim she moved into a property owned by fellow ANC8A Commissioner Barbra Clarks second property she owns in Ward 8

Donohue, who is vying for a seat in the upcoming election, has expressed his concerns over the alleged defiance of the law by the 8A Commissioners. He believes that it is the duty of every citizen to hold their elected officials accountable for their actions.

In a statement, Donohue said, “As a candidate for ANC8A01, I am committed to ensuring that our community is governed by individuals who respect and uphold the law. I urge my constituents to challenge the claims made by Commissioner Muhammad, and to seek the truth in this matter.”

He further added, “It is our responsibility as citizens to question the actions of our elected officials, especially when there are allegations of legal defiance. We must ensure that our community is led by individuals who are committed to maintaining the integrity of our governance.”

Donohue’s call to action comes in the wake of allegations that the 8A Commissioners have been defying DC law. These allegations, if proven true, could have serious implications for the governance of the community.

In conclusion, Tom Donohue, the ANC8A01 candidate, is urging his constituents to critically examine the claims made by Commissioner Holly Muhammad. He believes that it is the duty of every citizen to hold their elected officials accountable, especially in light of allegations that the 8A Commissioners have been in violation of DC law.Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (ANC) Holly Muhammad has been accused of a series of unethical actions and false statements. These accusations include:

  • Fabricated Claims: Muhammad has made repeated claims without providing any supporting evidence.
  • Undue Influence: She has used her position to influence decisions without proper justification.
  • Unlawful Exclusion: Muhammad ejected a resident, Tom, from a public meeting without warning and subsequently barred him from attending ANC meetings for six months. This action stemmed from Tom echoing concerns raised by other community members.
  • Defamation: In response to a recall petition filed against her by Tom, Muhammad publicly accused him of racism and prejudice against Black women and Muslims, again without providing any evidence. These accusations were made both in writing and during ANC meetings where Tom was muted and unable to respond. A flyer was distributed over a several block radius which included a photo and made claims he was a scammer and that he bullied females.
  • Residency Fraud: Muhammad is alleged to have falsified her residency to maintain her eligibility as an ANC commissioner after moving out of her district. She declared her candidacy using the address of fellow Commissioner Barbra Clark.
  • False Accusations: In retaliation against Tom’s defamation lawsuit, Muhammad filed false stalking charges against him, which were later dismissed by a judge.
  • Evasion of Legal Process: A process server made multiple unsuccessful attempts to serve Tom’s lawsuit at Muhammad’s declared address, raising further questions about her residency.
  • Collusion and Cover-up: Other commissioners are alleged to be complicit in Muhammad’s actions, including ignoring her residency fraud and actively attempting to silence Tom and suppress information about the situation.

These allegations paint a picture of misconduct and abuse of power by an elected official. Tom reports Muhammad, Clark, Crawford has dropped out of the election. Tom aims to ensure that the new commission fulfills its duties to the constituents it serves and upholds the oath of office.Tom Donohue

Recalling Holly Muhammad has Turned to Finding Her Replacement

Tom Donohue turns his signature collection efforts into identifying someone who will run against Ms. Muhammad.

Effective August 1, 2022, Tom Donohue will cease his signature collecting efforts and will submit a petition which will consist of one signature, his own. This way not to identify potential supporters publicly this approach will allow him to take steps against the Board of Elections which prevented Mr. Donohue from fairly collecting signatures. Mr. Donohue will turn all of his efforts into identifying candidates who will run against Ms. Muhammad in the November election. Mr. Donohue’s signature collection was hampered by several actions taken by the Board of Elections for which he plans to act against once his recall petition has been acted on for lack of signatures. Mr. Donohue, an eight-year resident of his southeast neighborhood, small business owner and invested member of the ANC8A01 community assures Ms. Muhammad that her potential run for Commissioner will not happen unopposed.  If after an exhaustive outreach to identify a candidate fails, Mr. Donohue commits to running against Ms. Muhammad.  If no other candidate declares Commissioner Muhammad will face Mr. Donohue and be forced to explain her actions and lies levied against Mr. Donohue. Ms. Muhammad has provided zero support that Mr. Donohue is a racist, that he hates women and Muslims.  This approach by Ms. Muhammad should bring concern to every member of each of those communities.  Instead of launching a sincere response to Mr. Donohue’s claims she’d rather use race, gender identity and religion falsely to hide behind her behavior and hope that her community would simply accept her claims.  Without any evidence of such claims Ms. Muhammad should face each of those communities for using them for political gain, its frankly disgusting.  Her false claims should have consequences.
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.

Elected Official from DC Calls her Constituent a Racist during meeting says he Hates Women and Muslims

Commissioner Holly Muhammad Claims in open meeting her constitutent is racist, hates women and Muslims. None of which is true

Commissioner Holly Muhammad flat out lies during a meeting of ANC08 calling her constitutent racist, that he hates women and Muslims. Yet she has nothing to support her claim. This sounds along the same lines as this mysterious flyer that someone had placed in a several block radius. Tom filed a police report that evening.

Donohue Calls for Financial Audit of ANC8A

Ms. Muhammad’s refusal to allow the voters of this ANC from be heard by refusal to allow a period of time for community involvement directly conflicts with the intended purpose of why the ANC’s have been establish without this local participation from the voters these meetings are simply one way communication of only the information Ms. Muhammad would like to report

This is an email that was sent by Tom Donohue to the DC Auditor General requesting that a full financial audit take place of ANC8A as a result of Muhammad restricting public comments, there being no record of meeting minutes or any financial reports/discussions and finally the entire ANC8A website being suspended.

Ms. Patterson, 

I am circling back with you to officially request pursuant to D.C. Code, Section 1-264( d), that your office, the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor conduct an audit of the financial operations and activities of Advisory Neighborhood Commission ANC8A effective immediately. The objective of this audit should be to determine whether ANC 8A’s financial accounts and operations are in compliance with the Advisory Neighborhood Commission Act of 1975 (ANC law), as amended, Financial Guidelines and Procedures issued by the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor, and legal opinions issued by the Office of the Corporation Counsel.
I strongly urge your office act without delay as this matter is important to the voters of ANC8A I am unable to find meeting minutes, financial reports or even documentation that financial information is even discussed at the ANC meetings additionally at our previous meeting Ms. Muhammad restricted every member of the community from participating in any open forum by just not having any. Without the opportunity given for the residents to confront the ANC about these important matters they leave no choice but for me a resident and registered voter of this ANC to respectfully request and insist your office take immediate action on these matters and conduct an audit without delay. Your office is the only way accountability will be restored by way of transparency back to the voters. Ms. Muhammad’s refusal to allow the voters of this ANC to be heard by skipping past the community engagement part of the agenda directly conflicts with the intended purpose of why the ANC’s have been established. Without this local participation from the voters these meetings are simply one way communication of only the information Ms. Muhammad would like heard which apparently does not include anything that may hold her accountable.
I am confident that your office will find these matters of concern and will respect my right to know what is happening within the apparent confidential inner workings of my commission and that you will share my concerns. I urge your office to take action and report back to the voters of this ANC any inconsistencies or alarming findings in your investigation. We have the right and your office has the obligation and authority to force compliance and provide the transparency which puts accountability back into the hands of the voters.
I very much appreciate your understanding and support in this matter and I look forward to your acknowledgement and expected plan of action your office plans to take in relation to this request. I will of course be keeping my fellow neighbors up to date with your updates.

Respectfully,

Tom Donohue
