Michael D. Bissonnette
Michael D. Bissonnette is the former mayor of Chicopee, Massachusetts.[1] Bissonnette was first elected mayor in a landslide in the November 2005 election after he defeated embattled mayor Richard Goyette, who had been arrested weeks prior on federal extortion charges.[2] Bissonnette served as mayor from 2006 through 2013, but was unseated by Richard J. Kos, who had previously served as mayor,[3] in the 2013 general election.[4]
After leaving the mayor's office, he served as interim DPW director for the Town of Greenfield from November 2014 until May 2015.[5] He challenged Kos to a rematch in 2015[6] but was unsuccessful.[7] He returned to his law practice shortly thereafter. In 2019 Kos announced he would not seek re-election and Bissonnette was one of several candidates to run for the seat.[8] He was eliminated in the City's preliminary election in September of 2019.[9]
Bissonnette lives in Chicopee with his wife Erin.[10]
Chicopee is a city in Western Massachusetts. As of the 2000 census, the total population is 54,653.
