The following emails were sent to the candidates to ask them to respond to the questions.
UPDATE:
I asked Mayor Westmoreland why he did not participate in the survey, and he did give me a response. Here is my response, his response, and the original email.Fri, 2 Jul 2021 09:43:43 -0600

Tom, I understand things are busy. I plan on posting another answer today, if you would like you can still answer the questions and I will include yours in future posts. Probably the next one after today will go up on Tuesday. Because I have already posted the answers of the other candidates, I will not post your answers for any of the questions I have already posted.

Sorry, I have been so jammed up with city stuff I have barely been able to touch anything campaign related and was not able to hit the deadline.
Trying to fulfill my responsibilities as mayor and put a campaign together at the same time is proving to be quite challenging.

You are receiving this email because you have filed to run for either the
Mayor or one of the open City Council seats for Eagle Mountain.
I run a website, https://cedarvalleysentinel.com and I follow the election cycle very
closely and like to keep residents informed. As such, after the deadline
to file has passed, I will be sending you a survey to complete and fill
out. This survey will be posted on cedarvalleysentinel.com. The survey will have
questions about issues that Eagle Mountain is currently facing. It is also
a way for residents to get to know who you are and where you stand. In the
past this has been helpful for residents in making a decision on who to
cast their vote for. I will post a question and then the answers provided
by the candidates on cedarvalleysentinel.com. The order of the candidate answers will
be random for each question when it is posted. If you have questions,
please let me know. Expect to see the survey in the middle of next week.
I do have one additional request, I would like to see the #EM2021 hashtag
used when posting to social media when the post is election-related. I
think it would be a great resource if on social media if a search for
#em2021 is done everyone’s election posts appear.

As promised, here are the questions I would like for you to answer so I can
publish them on cedarvalleysentinel.com. Let me know if you have any questions. I
would like to have them by 6/15/2021. This will give me some time to
create the posts and to run them a few a week so residents have time to
read and ingest the information. Please limit your answers to each
question to a paragraph or two. I know that can be difficult to do, but it
makes the posts shorter so people will read everyone’s responses.

It has been brought to my attention that the timeline is a little too
aggressive. I am going to extend this for another week, so the deadline is
now 6/22. If you have already sent in your answers, and you wish to change
them, just send me an updated answer list by the 22nd and I will use the
latest one you sent for the articles.

I want to thank the two of you that have responded. Please take the time to respond to
this set of questions. In future elections, it has been a valuable resource to those who
participate. It shows a willingness to answer questions and starts a discussion.

Tom, I have sent you several emails about the questions I plan on putting
on cedarvalleysentinel.com from all of the candidates. I have received the majority of
them back already, with commitments from everyone else that they will have
them to me shortly. I have not heard back from you, so I can plan to post
the answers and the timeline, can you let me know if you will be
participating?
Thanks,
Mike Kieffer
