Light to run again for mayor

NORWALK — Norwalk Mayor Dave Light made it official Monday morning — he is running for a seond term. "Thank you for the privilege of serving as your mayor for the past three years," Light said in a release. "Time sure flies. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving the community and it has been a pleasure to work alongside enthusiastic citizens who want to see Norwalk succeed. "We have a great team of energetic leaders and department heads who want nothing but the best for the city. Going into this, I knew success would come from listening to the ideas and desires of the citizens. With their direction, vision and commitment, we have accomplished a great deal, even during a world-wide pandemic. "Having said this, it would be an honor to serve another term as your mayor. This morning I filed my petition to do so. We live in a blessed community. The best is yet to come." Light, former police chief in Norwalk, defeated Rob Duncan three years ago in the race for mayor. He will run again in November seeking a second term.
