The two candidates for Ansonia mayor have accepted invitations to dissect city issues live Oct. 26 on “Valley Navel Gazing,” the Valley Indy’s weekly talk show.
The 52-minute audio broadcast will stream live on ValleyIndy.org and will then be posted as a podcast and be made available on iTunes.
In addition, the discussion will be carried live on WNHH-LP, 103.5 FM in New Haven.
Incumbent David Cassetti is finishing his first term, having led a 2013 Republican insurgency that took a majority on the Board of Aldermen in addition to the mayor’s office, which the Democrats had controlled for 14 years.
Edward Adamowski, an assistant fire chief and First Ward Alderman for six years, is the Democratic nominee.
The two candidates are scheduled to discuss the race with the Valley Indy’s Eugene Driscoll and Ethan Fry. The show begins at 9 a.m.
A live stream of the discussion will be accessible by clicking the “Listen Now” link at www.ValleyIndy.org (see screenshot). A pop-up screen emerges, and you’ll press play again to listen.
