UH OH: Gov. Cuomo’s Communications Director Resigns, Becomes At Least the Tenth Staffer To Do So
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s communications director has resigned — making him at least the tenth member of the disgraced Democrat’s staff to do so since the scandals began.
Peter Ajemian’s last shift for the governor was on Friday.
In a statement announcing the staff shakeup, Cuomo’s office said that Rich Azzopardi will be replacing him.
“Mr. Azzopardi has been a member of this administration for nine years, previously serving as Senior Advisor to the Governor, Senior Deputy Communications Director, DeputyCommunications Director for Albany and Deputy Press Secretary for Albany. Prior to that, he was an aide in the New York State Senate and a newspaper reporter. He is replacing Peter Ajemian, who is leaving the administration to pursue a position in the private sector,” the statement said.
