Keeping Clayton's small town feel for all - Now and in the future.

Supporting Citizen Engagement

 

I believe all citizens should know their rights, but also, understand their responsibilities as citizens - the best way is through vigorous, but civil discourse.

Jim Diaz for Clayton city council

My community priorities have been and are:

  • Public Safety

  • Improving Our Quality of Life

  • Listening to People
