Linda McMahon was a 2012 Republican candidate who sought election to the U.S. Senate from Connecticut.

McMahon spent more than $100 million of her own money trying to win a Senate seat in 2010 and 2012. As of December 2013, that sum was the most anyone had ever spent of their own funds in trying to win a federal race. The previous leader was Ross Perot, who spent $72 million of his money in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections.[1]
