In a story released late afternoon, Observer.com claims Councilman Mike DeFusco will be a candidate for mayor this fall going up against Mayor Dawn Zimmer.
Councilman Mike DeFusco will see union backing and run for mayor this fall according to an Observer.com story. DeFusco did not offer comment on the story. |
The article claims the first term councilman has the backing of councilman Michael Russo and former councilman Tim Occhipinti.
In a phone interview just earlier, Tim Occhipinti said the article was in error and “Dawn Zimmer’s got my vote.” He praised her efforts running the city and the progress seen on infrastructure.
As for Councilman Mike DeFusco who he’s known back to his time on the council and DeFusco’s work on the zoning board as a commissioner, Occhipinti said he had not spoken to him about joining any potential ticket this November. “I’ve not had any conversation with Mike about running.”
