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
