Claims Jovita Mendoza won’t respond to request to “revoke the flyer”. I am writing to clarify the situation of a political flyer that has been distributed including a photograph of Jovita Mendoza and myself. In my position as a Priest of the Diocese of Oakland, the Pastor of St. Ignatius of Antioch Parish of Antioch, and the Lead Chaplain for the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, I am not allowed to support or endorse any candidate for public office nor give the impression that I do so. The flyer in question gives the impression that I do support Jovita Mendoza for public office, and it is not true. My consent and permission to make use of my photograph for that flyer was never sought or given.
