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 Approach

Let's get to work!
