Public statement from OPA

Thursday, July 10, 2025

In connection with the 2025 Board of Directors election cycle, OPA, Inc. wishes to make clear that use of OPA logos and/or venues in campaign materials or ads, which has happened this election season without OPA involvement, does not constitute and should not be construed as any type of endorsement of a candidate by OPA, Inc., or its departments.

OPA, Inc. encourages voters to participate fully in this year’s Board election, including voting “yes” as to the Firehouse referendum question, but this message is to make clear that OPA, Inc., as a corporate entity, does not involve itself for or against particular Board candidates.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
OPA Board of Directors president and candidate in the current board election Stuart Lakernick has a full page ad in the Ocean Pines Progress newspaper.

Nothing really wrong with that except he used the official OPA logo in his campaign ad. Quite incredible.

Try to imagine the reaction from the Get Involved supported candidates if Amy Peck had used the OPA logo in a campaign ad.
