Brian Jean is demanding that UCP Leader Jason Kenney retract statements that every campaign in the 2017 United Conservative Party leadership race operated voting stations. Hours later, Jean, who finished second behind Kenney in the October 2017 vote, fired back on Twitter. "To set the record straight: my team never cheated, used VPNs or voter kiosks during #ucpldr race," Jean said. Jean has rarely commented on the leadership race since stepping down as the MLA for Fort McMurray-Conklin in February 2018. Campaign workers for Jean and Doug Schweitzer, the third candidate in the race, raised concerns about the Kenney campaign's use of VPNs during the three-day vote.
