• NOTABLE NO VOTE (Expanded Local Pension Benefits): Wyman was one of 7 State Assemblymembers (and 14 legislators overall) who voted against AB 616 (2001) by Tom Calderon, which created allowed California cities, counties and special districts to offer retirement benefit factors up to 3% at age 60. These higher benefit factors led to severe unfunded pension liabilities in a number of cities a decade later. 
• An incumbent who lost their party primary (in 2002).
• One widely noted bit of trivia is that "in 1994, Wyman was the only incumbent Republican west of the Mississippi to be unseated." [Source: California Journal article (see below)]
