Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno speaks with a reporter in his campaign headquarters after winning re-election with 77 percent of the vote.

Voters in Springfield, Massachusetts returned Domenic Sarno to the mayor’s office for four more years.

Sarno rolled up more than 77 percent of the vote in trouncing political novice Sal Circosta. 

Sarno said the huge margin of victory sent a resounding message that people are confident in his ability to move the city forward. Sarno said he is looking forward to another four years as Springfield’s mayor.

"I love this job. I love this job," said Sarno. " We ran on our record."

Before his next mayoral term is up Sarno said he expects to see the MGM casino built and a redeveloped Union Station open downtown.
