In Connecticut, Republican Linda McMahon spent $50 million on her failed Senate bid in 2010 and has already spent more than $13 million this year running for Joe Lieberman’s seat, who is retiring.
Her opponent is Chris Murphy. His values, including fighting for campaign finance reform and quality health care, seem to be more in line with Connecticut’s voters. He has opened a small lead in the polls.
How did McMahon make her money? She’s a magnate of professional wrestling. Her company is WWE, which she started with her husband Vince McMahon. She has even performed in the ring at one time.
