Norwalk Mayor Rilling's Campaign War Chest: Tens Of Thousands And Counting

Rilling is seeking a third term.

NORWALK, CT — Incumbent Democratic Mayor Harry Rilling's campaign has raised about $97,000 for his re-election campaign, a sizable amount considering Norwalk Republicans have yet to nominate a candidate.

The Hour reports that Rilling, the city's former police chief, has far outpaced the amounts raised for the same periods in 2013 and 2015.

Rilling is seeking his third two-year term. The "Friends of Rilling" campaign group reported to state officials that it has received 122 individual contributions, none of which exceeded $1,000.
