That announcement came via press release on Monday (9/12/22) morning. Coelho had this to say of the backing:

“I am honored and energized by the support of independent voters. The voters of Danbury, New Fairfield and Ridgefield deserve an independent voice in Hartford. As your new state senator, I will be that voice. I will fight to make Connecticut safer and more affordable. I will also support our law enforcement officers while protecting and defending local control of education and zoning.”

She went on to explain what she will represent in Hartford, stating:
“I cherish our constitutional freedoms and liberties. I am passionate about safeguarding our children’s education and empowering parents. I believe parents deserve a voice and a choice when it comes to the education of their children.That’s why I am asking Independents, Unaffiliateds, Democrats and Republicans to elect me to replace Julie Kushner as your senator this November. My positive, pro-growth, pro-family message is already resonating with people from all political parties, and I will be spreading that message every day until the polls close. Voters have a very clear choice in this race.”

Coelho is a businesswoman with 30 years of experience as a full-time project manager. Coelho says she's a first-generation Cuban-American whose mother and father came to America after fleeing an "oppressive Communist government in Cuba."

I officially met Michelle, and her husband this past weekend at Danbury's first-ever San Gennaro Festival. I was there representing I-95, broadcasting live and her booth was right next to mine. Maybe that was strategic booth placement on her part but we got a chance to talk. Typically, when I talk to people, especially about politics, I say some things. I said some "things" to Michelle and she seemed very receptive. I like that because the way I express my opinions can be colorful. If she can handle my swearing and speaking in absolutes, we'll get along fine.

P.S. I'm waiting for a picture back from her camp, I know they took about 30 pics of us talking while I waved my arms and was sweating.

UPDATE: I got them, here is us and our significant others.

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.
