Gov. Ned Lamont is getting a new communications director, and it’s a face you’re used to seeing on NBC Connecticut.
Political Reporter Max Reiss will take over the position on July 22.
Max has been at NBC Connecticut since 2014.
Max's appointment was announced in conjunction with several other personnel moves within the governor's office. Rob Blanchard will serve as deputy communications director. Maribel La Luz, who had been Governor Lamont's communications director will move to the Department of Economic and Community Development in a new role as the senior advisor for external affairs.
"These personnel adjustments will allow us to leverage the experience and expertise of these individuals in a way that best supports my administration’s goals going forward," the governor said in a press release. "Following my first legislative session, I conducted a holistic review to evaluate my office structure and needs relative to my goals."
"Leveraging Max’s political, policy, and new media experience will benefit my administration and its agencies," said Lamont.
