During the election, D'Emilia faced scrutiny for his resident status in Bridgewater, as he was also listed as the primary resident of a home in nearby Lakeville, Massachusetts.[3] Despite this issue being raised in a local newspaper report, there was no challenge to his status in court. D'Emilia won the general election with 50% of the vote to Lawton's 45%.[4]

D'Emilia gained attention for a lawsuit he brought against the Town of Bridgewater regarding a disputed parcel of land. D'Emilia is suing the town for allegedly violating the law in its actions to try to secure the parcel for conservation land, as D'Emilia claims that he and his partners already have a purchase-and-sale agreement on the parcel and the town has missed its opportunity by law to secure the land.[8]
