Lamont to make personnel decision: Dach out.

Governor Ned Lamont is expected to announce Tuesday morning that Jonathan Dach, Lamont’s third chief of staff, is leaving the administration, Daily Ructions has learned. The governor will appear at the State Capitol at 10:15 a.m. to make the announcement.

Dach has been with Lamont since the governor took office in 2019. He joined the administration as a top advisor and has continued in that role with different titles.

Matthew Brokman, also senior advisor, is expected to replace Dach. Brokman is considered politically savvy and his appointment will unleash a holiday week round of speculation on what the change means for the popular Lamont’s likelihood to seek a third term in 2026.

Dach’s departure and his replacement by Brokman will ease tensions in the executive suite.
