A social media account linked to Nalungo Conley, Vallejo's second assistant city manager, featured racially charged posts and was taken down after media inquiries. The account, with 372 followers, included controversial retweets that addressed race, privilege, and trust within communities. Conley started her role on Monday and reports to City Manager Andrew Murray. Concerns about her ability to be effective in a diverse city like Vallejo have been raised, especially after the account's removal and its troubling content.
Most of the posts with racial references were retweets - someone else on X wrote the tweet and Conley reposted it on her feed. (X is the new name of the longstanding social media site Twitter.)
The X account @nalungomc1 had 372 followers, with posts dating back to July 2024. It included the retweets, "White women marry bigoted white men and birth and raise bigoted white boys," and "Black people I think it's time we withdraw ourselves from anything but blackness."
Former Richmond mayor and longtime Richmond City Council Member Tom Butt first noted, "I would be suspicious of anything I read on social media." Butt added, "Vallejo's a very diverse city and if she is going to be effective there, she will have to deal with that. There is no room for bigots in a city manager role."
