Mayor Cassetti Sits Down With The Valley Indy

Two-term Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti visited the Valley Indy office Tuesday (Aug. 29) for an interview.

The mayor is trying for his third term. Election Day is Nov. 7.

For about an hour, the mayor talked about what brought his Sicilian grandparents to the United States and Ansonia specifically, what it was like growing up in the Valley in the 1960s, dealing with the loss of his father at the age of 7, and how he went on to become an amateur boxing standout, small business owner, and mayor of the place he calls the greatest city in the state.

Cassetti’s opponent, Democratic nominee Tarek Raslan, sat down with the Valley Indy for an interview last week.
