A New Mayoral Candidate

The race for Mayor just got an addition to it. John McGowan announced yesterday that he is running for the spot on the Concerned Citizens line. He believes that both Republicans and Democrats don't have the right vision and only argue, while getting nothing done. McGowan says that he is the best candidate to bring change. You can read the article here.

McGowan has received much criticism because he lives in Bethel. He does plan to move to Danbury before Election Day, November 6th. The other candidates for Mayor, incumbent Mark Boughton and challenger Helena Abrantes said that they welcome him into the race. However, Boughton added that it is "absolutely absurd" for him to run because he doesn't live in the city.

The race for Mayor has not gained much attention so far, so this may be just the type of thing that could bring some life to it. Who knows? It's now up to the voters to decide.

This will make Boughton's victory even easier.

Are you kidding me, the immigration nuts will jump on board. This will cost Boughton.
That is what happens to a one trick pony.

I thought you only said they make up a handful of people in Danbury, like when you criticize news times live posters and put their comments in your "hat city hilights".

Ok, so I did a little more research. Don't think we forgot about your D&D tirade in GERMANTOWN. It's pathetic how you talk to yourself, it really is.

Alright, the regulars here can tell who Al is, there's no reason to harp on it.

McGowan is nuts. Don't vote for him.
