Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has named Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves as the new Democratic State Central Committee chair. Alves, a Brazilian immigrant who became a U.S. citizen in 2017, will succeed Nancy DiNardo when her term ends in January. Lamont praised Alves’ business background and leadership of one of the nation’s most diverse cities. The move according to some observers, signals Lamont’s potential interest in a third gubernatorial term.
