Weather permitting, the swearing-in of Joe Cavo to Mayor of the City of Danbury will take place on Thursday, December 17. According to the Mayor's office, the impending snowstorm may push this date up to Wednesday.
Mayor Boughton will submit his resignation on the date of the swearing-in. Due to COVID, this is not going to be a traditional swearing-in as City Hall is closed to the public.
The following is a statement from the soon to be Danbury Mayor, Joe Cavo:
"As President of the City Council for the past 14 years, it is my honor and privilege to serve Danbury residents in this new capacity. I am committed to serving the community and continuing in the legacy that Mayor Boughton created throughout his administration.
I ran for City Council after hearing Mark speak to his “people over politics” mentality. I thought, if there is a way to help him make a difference, I have to get involved. I ran for City Council in 2003 and became the President in 2006. Serving the third ward has been an incredible and humbling honor.
During the past several years, I have worked closely with the Office of the Mayor and our City departments. I have been at the decision-making table for numerous initiatives, and feel prepared to take on this role, representing all members of our community."
