'Beloved by both sides of the aisle.' State holds tribute ceremony for former Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman

Today we remember and celebrate the life of Nancy Wyman. Two months after her passing, the state came together to remember Nancy Wyman's life and her impact on Connecticut politics. I have said that I probably would never have won an election without Nancy. I think the reality is that we would not have accomplished all that we accomplished without. Wyman served as the state's 108th lieutenant governor from 2011 to 2019. She was also the first woman in Connecticut elected as state comptroller in office she served in from 1995 to 2011. I always listened. I always followed up. And it's that little bit that chicken soup for the soul. That's Nancy Wyman. Wyman began her career in public service on the Tolland Board of Education. Her legacy includes expanding access to health care and helping guide Connecticut through the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. Despite the divided nature of the state senate. Nancy was beloved by both sides of the aisle because she had that great sense of humor. She was just a warm, caring person who genuinely cared about other people. Nancy Wyman was 80 years old. Her legacy lives on. I'm Justin DeVellis, News 12.
