Danbury’s Democrat Mayor Roberto Alves is seeking a second term, saying his “job’s not done” after two years in office. He faces Republican City Councilman Emile Buzaid, who argues taxes remain too high and city leadership needs a new direction. Alves points to balanced finances, school funding, and public safety improvements as key achievements. Buzaid’s campaign centers on business growth, transportation, and crime prevention ahead of the November election.
