Kamee Verdrager Leshner did not decline to respond, she publicly addressed this (with screenshots). Her direct quote is below:
I didn't actually decline to respond. I asked Doug a reasonable follow up question when I received his inquiry, and he provided what was, IMO, a vague and non-responsive response. We had no further communication and Doug did not convey a deadline. The fact that he is "reporting" that I declined to comment validates my concerns about how he would choose to present information I provided.
Kamee is mistaken. She was given a deadline. Except for the introductory paragraph, she got the exact same text with the exact same deadline the other candidate recieved.
When she expressed concerns about how her response would be handled, I told her that it would be handled the same way that I've always done these. If, in her opinion, this was vague, she could have said so and asked for clarification. She might have also looked at all of the other interviews that have been published. I thought I was clear that I was going to treat her just like I've treated all the other candidates, despite how she has previously treated me.
This complaint appears to be manufactured to provide "validation" for her "concerns."
Odd that a candidate declined to respond to the questions. Thank you Paul for responding to them the context is helpful as a voter.
