Vote for Brian Shelden

Hi, I'm Brian.

I'm a born & bred Vermonter, the former Chair of both the Town of Essex Economic Development Commission, and the Town of Essex Democrats. I'm running for Essex Junction City Council in 2025 and can't wait to represent the hardworking people of my home town.

My vision for a vibrant community

My Approach

I thrive in finding solutions to complex problems. As an engineer, I’m more interested in getting things done than just talking about them. My priority will be communicating the needs and vision of Essex Junction to the council.


Let's get to work!
