Diaz promises open process as Clayton mayor

CLAYTON, CA (Jan. 24, 2024) — It’s an honor and a privilege to serve as your mayor for 2024. This town has been my home for more than 44 years, and I care deeply about its future.

As we embark on this journey together, upgrading the city’s technology infrastructure will be crucial. We need efficient systems to provide top-notch services to residents. Reviewing our budget and revenue streams will also be a top priority. My goal is to deliver the high-quality services we all expect, while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

At the same time, we must continue addressing persistent challenges like housing regulations, infrastructure maintenance and public safety. I am committed to working closely with the police department to ensure they have adequate funding to keep our community safe.

I am excited to participate in planning the 60th anniversary of Clayton’s 1964 inauguration. It will be a wonderful event for us to come together as neighbors and friends. I encourage everyone to get involved. Please contact City Hall if you’d like to volunteer your time or expertise.

Clayton is a special place with real small-town charm. As your mayor, I’ll work hard to maintain that character while running an open and transparent local government.

I want to keep you informed and involved in important decisions every step of the way. I encourage you to attend City Council meetings in person to make your voice heard. You can also reach out to me directly with any questions or concerns at 925-673-7316 or JimD@claytonca.gov.

Let’s make 2024 a year to remember in Clayton. I look forward to working with you.
