The campaign for Democratic presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg announced Jan. 28 that Milford resident Brett Broesder will join as state director for Connecticut along with several other Connecticut political veterans in its effort to defeat Donald Trump in November.
“Mike Bloomberg has taken on and won on some of our country’s toughest fights – be it on guns, climate, or public health – and our effort to defeat Donald Trump in Connecticut, and nationwide, will be no different,” said Broesder. “I’m eager to start building an organization that will not only help us win the primary on April 28, but also in November so that we can start rebuilding America.”
Broesder joins the team after serving as a managing director for Advocacy Solutions for the past year and as a recently elected member of Milford’s Planning and Zoning Board. He has more than a decade of experience, including as a political consultant for Ned Lamont, Susan Bysiewicz, and Shawn Wooden in 2018.
Prior to that Broesder served as a senior aide to Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin and former Bridgeport Mayor Bill FInch, as a communications director for the Montana Democratic Party, campaign manager for Peter Kilmartin’s successful Rhode Island attorney general run in 2010, and as a public affairs consultant for Ketchum and H+K Strategies in Washington, DC, and New York City.
“Broesder has an outstanding history of building and running teams on some of the most important and high-profile campaigns across the country and in Connecticut, and we’re excited to have him lead our efforts in the Constitution State to defeat Donald Trump and to elect a proven leader to the White House,” said Rob Diamond, East Coast States Director for Mike Bloomberg 2020.
Another Milford resident, Board of Aldermen member Michelle Parente, was also recently named to Bloomberg’s campaign as operations director for Connecticut.
