Clarification from Highland Republicans

Posted

This correspondence is an attempt to clarify the Republican endorsement and support of a candidate for supervisor of the Town of Highland. The Town of Highland Republican Party only endorses and supports one candidate, Donald “Jeff” Haas for the position of supervisor. As such, his name will appear on the Republican line in the November election.

Candidate Charles “Chuck” Petersheim is not endorsed or supported by the Republican party or committee of the Town of Highland. Mr. Petersheim has distributed via postal mail campaign materials to town residents indicating that he is “Supported by Highland Republicans” and displaying the Republican Party emblem. The emblem is a copyrighted trademark of the National Republican Committee, which Mr. Petersheim has not been authorized to use. Mr. Petersheim’s misrepresentation of support and unauthorized use of a copyrighted emblem can also be found on flyers displayed on social media and throughout town.

Mr. Petersheim has been notified to cease and desist use of any reference to Highland Republicans or use of the Republican symbol in any future materials. The Republican Committee and the Republican Party of the Town of Highland does not support his campaign in any way.

Dennis M. Hatton, Sr.

Chairman, Town of Highland Republican Committee
