Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz says she had a bad week, but that did not stop her from addressing state Democrats Saturday.
Bysiewicz said she appreciated the warm welcome she received when she walked on stage at the Connecticut Expo Center, appearing with her husband and her three children.
"I guess I can take the Supreme Court justices off my Christmas card list," she joked.
Until this past Tuesday, Bysiewicz was a candidate for attorney general. The state Supreme Court, however, ruled that she was not qualified to run only days before the convention, abruptly ended her candidacy.
She is not running for office this year, but said she will fight hard to get those on the Democratic ticket elected.
"I am going to fight for the Democratic principles we all share," she said.
