John Kerry, nor any member of their family is involved in the management or the board of the H.J. Heinz Co.Emphasizing that the firm is nonpartisan, the release goes on to point out that the company also has no connection to the Heinz family philanthropies, which some conservative groups have criticized for giving money to liberal causes.
