Susan Bysiewicz (/ˈbaɪzəwɪts/BYE-zə-wits;[1] born September 29, 1961) is an American politician and attorney who has served as the 109th lieutenant governor of Connecticut since 2019.[2] She previously served as the 72nd secretary of the state of Connecticut from 1999 to 2011 and a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives from 1993 to 1999.
She was briefly a candidate for governor of Connecticut in 2010, before dropping out to run for Connecticut Attorney General. She was disqualified from running for the office by the Connecticut Supreme Court and announced in 2011 that she was running for the United States Senate in the 2012 election to replace the retiring Joe Lieberman but lost the Democratic primary to U.S. Representative Chris Murphy, who went on to win the general election.
In 2018, Bysiewicz filed papers to run for governor of Connecticut but withdrew shortly before the Democratic Convention, in order to run for lieutenant governor as Ned Lamont's running mate. She was nominated for lieutenant governor during the state primary.
