The councilmembers filed complaints with the city, FPPC and the IRS.
Three Santa Clara councilmembers have filed several ethics complaints against Stand Up For Santa Clara — a self-proclaimed “grass-roots watchdog organization” that they claim is connected to Mayor Lisa Gillmor.
Stand Up For Santa Clara was founded in 2015 by residents Burt and Vickie Field, Tino Silva and Steve Robertson, who according to its website, became “community activists” in the midst of a battle over the youth soccer park adjacent to Levi’s Stadium. In 2018, the council passed a dark money ordinance requiring anyone donating $100 or more to an organization that spends money to influence city elections to register with the city. California also has its own slate of rules requiring candidates, committees and major donors to disclose election spending.
In the complaints, the councilmembers also alleged that the group’s mailing address has ties to the mayor. Stand Up For Santa Clara’s mailing address is 1202 Franklin Mall, according to screenshots from an email newsletter appended to the complaints. Park, Becker and Jain said they sent a piece of mail to that address but it was returned with a note from the U.S. Postal Service saying the address didn’t exist.
