Attorney Luke Bronin has spent time in Washington, D.C., as an official in the U.S. Department of the Treasury. He’s spent the past two years as general counsel to Gov. Dannel Malloy. So it’s no surprise that his future might continue to lie in politics.

Bronin has announced he will step down from his job as the governor’s top legal adviser on Jan. 7, and published reports say he will consider a run for mayor of Hartford.
