Virginia Autism Project Tells Tom Rust to Knock It Off

From the Virginia Autism Project:

Del Rust (bolding added by me for emphasis):

I would like to follow up on a conversation I had with your campaign manager two weeks ago regarding language on your website that referred to a preliminary press release that was issued by the Virginia Autism Project (VAP) and contained responses received to a survey we conducted. In emails, on your website, and in several pieces of mail, you have incorrectly implied the support of the Virginia Autism Project. I now see that your website contains the following statement, “Tom is also listed as a supporter of autism with the Virginia Autism Project.”

I wish to clarify that VAP has not issued and does not maintain a list of supporters of autism. VAP is a non-partisan 501c3 organization that does not support or oppose any candidate. I respectfully request that you update your website and other communications immediately.

Sincerely,
Jodi Folta
Vice President
Virginia Autism Project
