Nancy Wyman was a good friend to me, a good friend to Democrats, and a good friend to the people of Connecticut.
She was a tireless advocate for all things Connecticut, and in particular she made healthcare for all her personal crusade, working to develop policies that ensure everyone in Connecticut has access to affordable, quality healthcare services.
Her leadership led to Connecticut having one of the most successful rollouts of the Affordable Care Act of any state in the nation, driving the uninsured rate to new lows.
She always made everyone laugh, seemed to have friends everywhere she went, and for fun she would walk long parade routes for several miles wearing her trademark stiletto shoes and a big smile.
She will be missed and always warmly remembered. I share my deepest condolences with her husband Mike, their children and grandchildren, and all of their loved ones.
