Update: Staying Focused On The Issues
A report posted earlier this week in a Washington political publication pointed out that, during my tenure as CEO of WWE, I made political contributions to both Republicans and Democrats over the years. Although I’ve given more to Republican candidates than to Democrats, as the CEO and the public face of WWE, my contributions were consistent with the fact that WWE, like most businesses, is nonpartisan. Make no mistake: I’m a Republican. And I believe I’m the one fiscally conservative Republican who can win the Republican primary, and more importantly, win a general election against Chris Dodd. It is my hope that this campaign will stay focused on the critical issues. Connecticut families want to know that the next Senator from our state has both the experience and the strength to end business as usual in Washington, put an end to out-of-control Federal deficit spending, and turn our economy around so that we can put people back to work.
