Nancy Wyman has been the state's comptroller for 16 years. This year, she is not looking to be re-elected to that position. Instead, she is trying something new.
Today, Wyman received the Democratic endorsement for lieutenant governor. Her runningmate will be Dan Malloy.
"We want to make Connecticut a better place, and we can do that with your help," Wyman told delegates at the state Democratic convention.
When the votes were in, Wyman appeared on stage with her family as Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" played over the speakers.
Wyman pledged that a Malloy-Wyman administration would make government more efficient. It would not forgot that its job is to serve state residents, she said.
Wyman also added that residents would get answers when calling the governor's office, and there would be no empty offices in the governor's wing.
"We can't afford another four years of a part-time administration," she said.
