Romano said in a statement, “the decision is best for the organization to move forward”. Romano survived a long time in a position known for short tenures.
As for the quick exit, The Day of New London editorial board wrote, “Whoever takes control must help establish in the post-Trump era a clear Connecticut Republican brand that separates it from the more radical elements of the Republican Party at the national level.”
