Sessions, a New Hartford native who has been in D.C. working for Sen. Chris Dodd in various capacities for the past five years, will handle the press for Ned Lamont’s gubernatorial campaign.
Sessions is currently spokeswoman for the Senate Banking Committee, which Dodd heads. Prior to that, she served as Dodd’s deputy press secretary.
She will start her new post on Monday.
Courant staff writer Eric Gershon also reports that Lamont has established a campaign headquarters on Orange Street in New Haven. The office has been open since March 1, according to Lamont campaign manager Joe Abbey.
