Stamford Mayor's Race

The GOP appears to have their candidate of choice lined up for the 2005 race. State Rep. Michael Pavia has set up an exploratory committee and appears to have the support of former Mayor Stanley Esposito and GOP Town Committee Chairman Daniel McCabe. Pavia can be certain that no matter what happens he will exceed the GOP's showing from the 2001 race, when the party did not field a candidate. Story here.
