Louis Crosby Wyman (March 16, 1917 – May 5, 2002) was a Republican attorney and politician from New Hampshire. He was a U.S. Representative and a U.S. Senator from New Hampshire for only three days; it was one of the shortest tenures in Senate history.
Wyman won the 1974 general election for the Senate by two votes over the Democrat John A. Durkin, 110,926 to 110,924. The seat remained vacant until September 1975, when Durkin emerged as the easy winner in a special election rematch. In the latter contest, Durkin polled 140,778 votes (53.6 percent) to Wyman's 113,007 (43 percent). Carmen C. Chimento, nominee of George Wallace's former American Independent Party, drew 8,787 votes (3.4 percent).
Wyman missed 9 percent of all roll call votes during his congressional tenure.[1]
