Our second-most-read story of 2013: Rilling unseats Moccia in Norwalk mayoral race.
Richard Moccia, the Republican, was the four-term incumbent running on his record. Harry Rilling, a native Norwalker who served 41 years on the Norwalk Police Department – 17 as chief – was the Democratic challenger running on a platform of civility, inclusion, grand list growth and quality of life improvements. Rilling won by 9 points, or 1,492 votes (9006 to 7,514).
