SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Mayor Rocky Anderson has a new communications director, his ninth since taking office.
The latest to fill the post is Patrick Thronson, a 24-year-old Harvard graduate who has worked in the mayor's office since September, serving as staff assistant and assistant to the mayor.
On Jan. 27, he will succeed Duncan Moench, who resigned after 3 1/2 months in the post.
Chief of Staff Sam Guevara said Moench "wanted to move on. I didn't think it was too surprising. He's a big-city guy."
The others who held the job were Phil Riesen, November 1999 to February 2000; Dave Owen, February 2000 to March 2000; Ted Nguyen, May 2000 to August 2000; Josh Ewing, December 2000 to February 2004; David Jones, February 2004 to April 2004; Deeda Seed, April 2004 to August 2005; and Cliff Lyon, August 2005 to October 2005.
