Former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon has put a lot of her own money into the Connecticut Senate race, the Associated Press reports:
McMahon’s campaign on Tuesday released a portion of her filing with the Federal Election Commission.
It shows McMahon lent her campaign $20 million between July 22 and Sept. 30, for a total of $41.5 million. She is not expected to be reimbursed for the loans.
McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, has said she’ll spend as much as $50 million of her own money on the campaign to fill the seat now held by the retiring Sen. Chris Dodd.
So far, however, it’s not working. The TPM Poll Average gives Democratic nominee Richard Blumenthal a lead of 51.5%-43.6%.
