Emily Huntress Lamont, the daughter of Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont, has accepted a position as a special assistant in the U.S. Department of Education.
Lamont was among a long list of appointees announced by the department last week. The former Connecticut Education Commissioner and now U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona is her boss.
The 34-year-old worked as a policy associate in Arizona on the Biden for President campaign, and helped her father win the 2018 gubernatorial race in his state.
She also served as program manager at Connecticut COVID Charity Connection. The nonprofit, known as 4-CT, helped streamline Connecticut s philanthropic response to the pandemic.

Entertainment news shows always like to ask stars where they were when they learned they were nominated for an Emmy award. Some actors talk about being woken up by early morning calls from agents with the news; others mention popping champagne corks in celebration. It was a little less glamorous when Nutmeggers Preetha Nooyi and Ted Yang heard about their Emmy nod. They got an email.
Facing competition from three television news teams, Nooyi and Yang are nominated for Writer, Short-Form Content at this year’s (virtual) 44th Annual National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Boston/New England Chapter Emmy Awards ceremony on June 26. The two wrote the script for a video public service announcement (PSA) telling the story of Maria, a U.S. citizen, and how 4-CT (Connecticut COVID-19 Charity Connection) helped her and her family when they were unable to receive a stimulus check. The PSA was part of 4-CT’s relief campaign.
