Malloy, Wyman, in Senate chamber

Nancy Wyman is being joined by Gov.-elect Dannel Malloy in the crowded Senate chamber, as she takes the oath of office, becoming the state’s 73rd lieutenant governor. Wyman, 64, thanked Malloy for letting her be his running mate. “I stand here fully believing your vision, governor, your intellect and work ethic is exactly what we need to put on on firm ground,” she said. Wyman’s main constitutional role is to preside over the Senate and break tie votes, although Malloy has promised she will be a full partner in his administration.
