- The following article was written by The Associated Press:
GREENWICH, Conn. - The chief executive officer of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. says she's seeking the Republican nomination to run against Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd.
Linda McMahon announced her candidacy Tuesday, saying Washington is "out of control" and Dodd has "lost his way and our trust." McMahon says she has the experience and strength to stand up to special interests and bring much-needed change to Washington.
The 60-year-old Greenwich resident is up against three other Republicans -- former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, state Sen. Sam Caligiuri and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley. Dodd plans to run for a sixth term next year.
McMahon says she will use her own money to pay for most of her campaign and won't accept donations from political action committees.
