No, we didn’t endorse you

It’s come to my attention that (yet again) a number of candidates running for office are claiming to be endorsed by -or- in partnership with The 3/50 Project.

None of these claims are true.

• The 3/50 Project is not political

• The 3/50 Project does not endorse candidates

• The 3/50 Project does not partner with candidates

• The 3/50 Project does not align with any candidate, at any level, in any way.

If someone says they support the Project, that’s fine. If, however, they insinuate we’re supporting them, well…not so.

You see, the Project’s goal is singular: To strenghten local economies by reuniting consumers with locally owned, independent brick and mortar merchants. Whether a person leans blue, red, or center makes no difference. They still live in the community. They still work the community. They still need their community to prosper, regardless of who’s in office.

If you know of a candidate using our name in their campaign, please let me know. Odds are, it’s just a case of sloppy marketing, although…I’m not sure someone comfortable with “sloppy” anything is one I’d want to elect.

Thanks!
