Susan Bysiewicz is the CT Secretary of State.

She wanted to run for Attorney General, however the law in CT requires that each candidate for that office have experience as "an attorney of at least ten years' active practice at the bar of this state," which is a qualification that she did not hold. So she filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming either that her experience as Secretary of State should be accepted as qualifying her, or that the requirements of the law be declared unconstitutional. She lost that one, and became something of a joke for the effort.
