Jake will have an online chat at noon today with the Morning Call. (It’s over, view the transcript here.) He will also be talking to the East Penn Taxpayer’s Association tonight at 7:30 pm in Emmaus, details below.
Independent congressional candidate Jake Towne has had a tough time locating opponents Mr. Charlie Dent and Mr. John Callahan at debates. Unfortunately, so has the general public. Out of 11 debates, Towne was banned from two (2), was the only candidate to attend another two (2) debates, and another four (4) debates have been canceled due to lack of a response from both career politicians.
Towne stated that after destroying both Establishment candidates in the WFMZ debate last Tuesday and receiving a flood of support, he would be highly surprised if either campaign manager would even allow their candidate to debate, and hopes they still show up to the Express-Times “Debate at the State” on Monday.
Towne for Congress stresses that all public officials are not MASTERS, but SERVANTS. To not accept public scrutiny during candidacy simply highlights how unanswerable, inaccessible, and unresponsive these Establishment career politicians plan to be in office. This is not the type of representation and behavior voters should accept, and underscores Towne’s point that the “two-headed, one-party” system has betrayed and failed the people.
When elected, Jake Towne’s novel-yet-simple form of accountable and transparent government, “Our Open Office,” will give constituents new levels of transparency and accountability never before seen in American government.
(Towne attended the WFMZ and College Hill Neighborhood Association/League of Women Voters debates with Mr. Callahan and Mr. Dent. All candidates will be in the October 25th Express Times debate. Towne was banned from the PBS/Morning Call and JFLV debates. Mr. Callahan and Mr. Dent did not show up to the Cedar Crest and LV Tea Party debates, and due to lack of response from both the Pen Argyl, Northampton Community College, Nazareth Chamber of Commerce, and DeSales University debates were canceled. Towne accepted invites to all events.)
