InfoLinda E. McMahon last year stepped down as the Chief Executive Officer of World Wrestling Entertainment, a publicly traded company in Stamford, Connecticut that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol WWE. Linda helped grow the company from a modest 13-person operation to a global enterprise with over 500 employees and offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Orlando, London, Ontario, Shanghai, and Tokyo. The company has been named one of Forbes 200 Best Small Companies.

She is running for the United States Senate to change Washington’s failed economic policies, get spending under control and put people back to work. Linda is a fiscal conservative who is concerned about the massive deficit spending in Washington and the huge debt with which we are saddling the country and future generations. With over 30 years of real life business experience, she knows how to manage a budget, create jobs, and stimulate our economy.

Linda has committed not to accept PAC money or special interest money. She will limit contributions to her campaign to $100, and she plans to use her own resources to help finance the race and ensure she is competitive with Dick Blumenthal.

Linda has been widely recognized as one of the country’s top female executives, both for her business acumen and her support of a variety of community-based initiatives. In 2007, Linda was named one of Multichannel News’ “Wonder Women,” recognizing her accomplishments as a leader in the U.S. cable television industry.

In addition to her work in the boardroom, Linda has been instrumental in nurturing community and charitable programs. She spearheaded the creation of Get R.E.A.L. educational and literacy programs, including the company’s nationwide Reading Challenge in partnership with the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), the youth division of the American Library Association.

Under Linda’s leadership, the WWE was the recipient of the USO of Metropolitan Washington’s first ever “Legacy of Hope” award for its extensive support of our troops and the USO’s Operation Care Package program. In 2007, the company received the Secretary of Defense Exceptional Public Service Award for its support of deployed service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2008, the company received the GI Film Festival’s Corporate Patriot Award.

Linda was elected in October 2004 to serve on the Board of Trustees of Sacred Heart University of Fairfield, Conn. She serves on the board’s Executive Committee and chairs its Institutional Advancement Committee.

She also is a member of the Board of Directors of the Close Up Foundation, a nonprofit that exists to educate and inspire young people to participate in our democracy.

In 2009, Linda was appointed by Governor Jodi Rell to serve on the Connecticut Board of Education.

Born October 4, 1948, and raised in New Bern, N.C., Linda was a high school honor society student who was also fond of basketball and tennis. She graduated from East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., with a Bachelor of Science in French and certified to teach. She and her husband, Vince, were married in 1966.

The McMahons have resided in Greenwich, Conn., for more than 30 years. They have two adult children, Shane and Stephanie, and four grandchildren.
