Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA), whose office has received eight letters forged by lobbyist firm Bonner and Associates, revealed the names of two more groups whose name was signed to the letters without their permission, the Washington Post reports.
The two other groups where the Jefferson Council on Aging, and the Charlottesville chapter of the American Association of University Women.
“We’ve worked a long time to build up a reputation, and keep our name untarnished, and the notion that someone would come along and take that name ….. it’s deceit. It’s outright deceit,” said Lisa Maatz, the group’s director of public policy and government relations, told the Post. Maatz also said the AAUW doesn’t have a Charlottesville chapter.
