Dean Esposito referred to himself as "Danbury Dean" while making his City Hall announcement just over a week ago (May 18). Alves has an answer for that, he told the Ethan and Lou Show, his city roots would not be outdone saying:
Danbury City Councilman Roberto Alves will run for the office of Mayor of Danbury, CT in 2021. Alves made the official announcement on the Ethan and Lou morning Thursday (1/7/20).
There is a massive power vacuum set to open in Danbury next fall and I need to be out in front of the tectonic shift. I've been running around forming new relationships in the wake of the announcement and one of my first calls was to Democratic City-councilman Roberto Alves.
