Brian Jessen (Incumbent Ward 3) as of today (10\/08\/2019) has failed to notify this publication if he has chosen to accept or decline our video interview offer. <\/p>\n

09\/17 We notified both candidates via email
\n09\/17 Brian Jessen acknowledged receipt of the email 
\n09\/24 Brian Jessen was sent a reminder notice of our offer
\n09\/26 Brian Jessen spoke to me after Town Council
\n10\/07 Brian Jessen was sent a final reminder notice of our offer
\n          Brian and I held several exchanges in social media since our initial offer.
\n10\/09 Tentatively schedules meeting for 10\/11 at 2pm
\n10\/10 Speaks to me at the conclusion of Town Council
\n10\/11 At 12:30pm requests to reschedule meeting, fails to provide new date\/time.
\n10\/12 — No Further Communication from Brian <\/p>\n

We find his conduct regarding this matter confusing to say the least, as we received the following email from Brian, after we extended the same offer to all candidates during the primary election: 2019\/04\/29 — <\/p>\n

\n
“Again, we can sit down.  But with Chris\/Jeff and the Matt\/Matt seats, I wanted to make sure they had ample opportunity.<\/span><\/h5>\n
Yes, it’s important for me to get my info on the record.  Just trying to be considerate of their contested<\/span> races.” — 04\/29\/2019 Brian Jessen<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

  It is duplicitous for someone who advocated transparency during his first election bid, continuing while in office, including desiring contested primary races were covered, and his most recent campaign bid. Why he has chosen not to participate to date?<\/p>\n

  We will update you the public, regarding Brian’s position should circumstances warrant. —The Editor<\/em><\/p>\n
