Campaign Notebook: Financial Pasts of Murphy, McMahon Scrutinized

News and updates from the campaign trail in Connecticut

Senate

The financial past of both Chris Murphy and Linda McMahon is being used by both camps to paint the other candidate as irresponsible. 

Murphy’s campaign is brining up McMahon’s involvement in the 1976 bankruptcy of the WWE – then known as the World Wrestling Federation. According to the Associated Press, McMahon’s company owed $1 million to creditors.

‘‘It’s wrong that McMahon made hundreds of millions of dollars at the WWE but still has not paid back the people she owes from her foreclosure and bankruptcy,’’ said Ben Marter, a spokesperson for Chris Murphy.

McMahon’s campaign is honing in on Murphy’s past, where he missed mortgage payments on his home and tax payments on his car, reports the Hartford Courant.

Third District 

Rosa DeLauro (D) joined fellow Democrats in a press conference to hit Republicans on their stances on women’s issues, reports The Huffington Post.

Wayne Winsley (R): The candidate has a newly-redesigned website.

Re. “The financial past of both Chris Murphy and Linda McMahon”. Why isn’t anyone looking into the financial past of Rosa DeLauro??? See my comments under this article: http://easthaven.patch.com/blog_posts/the-delauro-factor-e5065dcd

What's Wayne Winsley, Mr. Shaefer, chopped liver?

Linda says she has spent over 60 million dollars of her own money to win this election. From what I read, she did not give the money to her campaign but only LOANED them the money, which means she expects to be repaid in the future. Is this information true?

I find it hilarious on how some people are criticized for how they spend their own money. It's really pathetic. If you have the money to spend, go for it. It can't be any worse than an incumbents during election time spending most their time and effort campaigning and fundraising and a minimal amount of time actually doing the job which our taxpayer dollars pay them to do..

To clarify, they have 4 cats, and they're only able to take two of them, plus their 14 year old dog.Read More It was a struggle for them to even find a way to get the dog in the rental agreement, otherwise they would have tried to take them. :(

Sad that they had to leave these beauties behind. I'm sure they are heartbroken over it.
