Is the Alves campaign “bought and paid for”?

Total money raised this year: $315,512, according to recent campaign finance filings.
Recent quarter: $63,000 raised, far outpacing his GOP challenger Emile Buzaid, who reported $55,983 total.
Alves Out-of-town contributions: $5,175 from 8 states and $28,652 from 31 Connecticut towns, suggest that over half of the $59,687 in that report came from outside Danbury.

Historical comparison: Danbury campaigns have always received some out-of-town support, but Alves’ numbers appear unusually high in both volume and geographic spread.

Potential influence: While campaign donations don’t automatically equate to quid pro quo, large sums from outside the city can raise legitimate questions about donor expectations, especially if those donors have business, political, or ideological interests in Danbury’s future.
Transparency matters: The Alves campaign has emphasized “broad support and momentum,” but critics, including Buzaid’s camp, have argued that such fundraising reflects dependence on external interests.

That’s the question that deserves scrutiny. Legally, campaign contributions must be disclosed, and there are limits on what donors can give. Are Alves’ policies going to be disproportionately favor donors from outside Danbury, will his appointments reflect outside influence, voters have every right to be concerned.

Vote for Emile Buzaid, he's the real deal for Danbury first.
