That Didn’t Take Long. Bronin Loses Communications Chief to “New Opportunities”.

Samaia Hernandez has left her job as Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin’s communications director in the third month of the new, struggling administration. A press release from Bronin states she left to pursue “new opportunities.”

Hernandez has been replaced by Brett Broesder, the former spokesman for the hapless former mayor of Bridgeport, Bill Finch. “I’m honored to join Mayor Bronin and his team,” said Broesder. “It’s an exciting time in the state’s capital city. I look forward to working with folks across the city to share Hartford’s story.”

The chain of command in the Bronin administration is said to be jagged to the point of veering out of city hall. This has caused some tensions as people try to do their jobs.
