"Hogan is a local activist known for her alignment with a far-right organization that interrupted Los Gatos Town Council meetings with anti-LGBTQ comments in 2021. She sued Vice Mayor Rob Moore, Councilmember Maria Ristow and private citizen Lee Fagot last November, alleging that they conspired to defame her. Hogan dropped her initial lawsuit in January, but filed another one that was nearly identical to the one she dropped,"
"From April 2023 to November 2023, Hogan participated in meetings at the Los Gatos Democracy Tent, which was moderated by Fagot. Santa Clara County Superior Court documents state that Hogan attended one meeting on Zoom in June 2023 and posted comments in the about a Drag Queen Story Time at Los Gatos Library that "people found upsetting." In September, Fagot emailed other Los Gatos Democracy Tent members incorrectly saying that Ristow had a restraining order against Hogan."
Lynley Hogan, a local activist aligned with a far-right organization that disrupted Los Gatos Town Council meetings in 2021, sued Vice Mayor Rob Moore, Councilmember Maria Ristow and private citizen Lee Fagot alleging a conspiracy to defame her. Hogan dropped an initial suit in January and then filed a nearly identical case. The town chose in March to fund Moore and Ristow's legal defense. From April to November 2023 Hogan attended Los Gatos Democracy Tent meetings and posted comments about a Drag Queen Story Time that people found upsetting. Fagot mistakenly emailed that Ristow had a restraining order and later reported a vote to ban Hogan after a death threat. In June 2024 Hogan distributed anti-LGBTQ fliers and Moore posted about them on NextDoor. A judge dismissed the lawsuit and ordered Hogan to pay legal fees.
