Malloy Holds Onto Key Cabinet Members

Three key members of Gov. Dannel Malloy's administration are staying on for the Democrat's second term.

Malloy said Thursday that his chief of staff, Mark Ojakian, will stay in that role, and he intends to reappoint Benjamin Barnes as secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and Kevin Sullivan as commissioner of the Department of Revenue Services.

The inauguration date for Malloy is Jan. 7. He won a second term by defeating Republican businessman Tom Foley in the November election.

Ojakian was deputy secretary of the Office of Policy and Management before joining the governor's office. Barnes served previously as operating officer for the Bridgeport public school system. Sullivan was lieutenant governor from 2004 to 2007, after serving as the state Senate president pro tempore.
