Sounds odd to me. So I put it to their head office:

Hi,

Did you know that Jeff McCloy is running TV ads claiming Salvation Army support for his run for local office? See here:

I wouldn’t have expected the Salvation Army to align itself with any specific political cause. Did you authorise this message?

[NB: I’m not at all involved in this election, except as a concerned voter who doesn’t want to see the Salvos name trashed.]

Cheers,

Luke

Will keep you posted.
