The leadership shake-up in Gov. Neil Abercrombie‘s office isn’t over yet.

Josh Levinson, Abercrombie’s communications director, told the staff on Friday that he is leaving, said Donalyn Dela Cruz, the governor’s press secretary.

The news comes on the heels of Abercrombie’s announcement a day earlier that his chief of staff, Amy Asselbaye, and deputy chief of staff, Andrew Aoki, had also resigned “in order to spend more time with their families and young children.”

Levinson told the staff that he was leaving for two reasons: Asselbaye and Aoki’s departure, and his own desire to see more of his family, Dela Cruz said. Levinson, 35, is married and has two children.

“The governor feels strongly that all three of them have young kids and if this is their decision, that is their decision,” Dela Cruz said. “The fact of the matter (is) nobody can understand the demands of this type of job, especially when you have demands at home.”

Levinson plans to remain on board until a new communications director is found, Dela Cruz said.

His departure is part of a larger leadership shift. Abercrombie on Thursday named Bruce Coppa, currently the State’s Comptroller, as the chief of staff. Whereas Asselbaye was a longtime political aide with little Hawaii experience, Coppa is an accomplished executive rooted in the state’s business and labor communities.

Abercrombie’s team had come under criticism in recent months for their vetting of top appointees, their ability to work with the Legislature and the governor’s habit of making unpredictable public statements after taking office.

Levinson had been field organizer for Abercrombie’s gubernatorial campaign before becoming communications director in November 2010.

Before joining the Abercrombie administration, Levinson was president and CEO at Community Links Hawaii, a now defunct organization that provided fiscal sponsorship and back office services to other nonprofits.

He’s a Punahou School graduate and holds a master’s degree in folklore from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the son of retired state Supreme Court Associate Justice Steven Levinson.

Prior to joining Community Links, he was Deputy Director at the District of Columbia’s public interest advocacy organization, the DC Appleseed Center for Law and Justice.
