The City of Danbury has a new Mayor! Welcome, Joseph Cavo!
On Wednesday, December 16 at approximately 3:00 pm, Joseph M. Cavo was sworn in as Mayor of the City of Danbury. He replaces Republican Mark Boughton, who has been mayor since 2001 and stepped down to become the state’s tax commissioner.
Mayor Joe says to Danbury residents,
It is one of the most tremendous honors of my lifetime to take the oath of office today and be appointed as your Mayor. I am looking forward to having conversations with you in the coming weeks, and representing each and every one of you in my new role.
Today is a very special day for me, but instead of sharing it with my friends and family, I chose to have a private ceremony, shared only with my wife and staff. As our community navigates through this pandemic, I want to encourage folks to stay safe this holiday season. Please stay home if you are feeling sick, wear your mask in public, and follow our local guidance. The City is prepared to roll out the vaccine as soon as possible, but throughout that process I ask that you do your part. We will get through this together.
