We're not political show so why do we do this? In short, I'm a Danbury resident who cares deeply about his community and I believe this is the best way I can be of service. I'm using my platform to inform the public on their options in a very personal way. This allows the voters to hear the candidate's respective platforms and gives the residents a glimpse at their personalities.

Thank you to both candidates for taking the time each week to speak to our listeners. It's probably not easy to swicth gears from a normal interview and come chat in our world. They need to be ready for anything because our show is so far from conventional. There are a lot of potential pitfalls on the Ethan, Lou & Large Dave Show so both men showed a lot of spit and grit by just being on here.

In the everlasting and profound words of Puff Daddy AKA Diddy AKA Papa Diddy Puff: Vote of Die!

Esposito VS. Alves: A Complete Breakdown of Danbury’s 2021 Mayoral Race

Voting in a local election is one the best ways to express your beliefs and immediately impact the world around you but how can you really know a candidate from a few quotes in the local newspaper? You can't.

The paper cannot give you a sense for the candidates personality nor can they show you how the person performs under pressure. A radio interview is a much more intimate thing and you can learn who your local candidates are on a deeper level.

In the weeks leading up to the 2021 Danbury Mayoral Election, we believe we have provided Hat City voters with an unbiased view of their options. Each Friday we brought Roberto Alves and Dean Esposito on the Ethan and Lou Show and asked them both the same questions.

Because the person who goes last, has the ability/advantage of answering to the first candidate, we would alternate the order every few weeks. We did not endorse either candidate, we simply gave an even portrait of the two men, their politics and their vision for Danbury.

This is a look back at the I-95 Election coverage for you to review the day before Election. Below you will be given an excerpt from each article we did with the candidates and a link that can redirect you to the full article. Most of the articles include full interviews we conducted with your candidates, Vote tomorrow, it matters.
