Greenwich's Linda McMahon Gave How Much To Political Campaigns?

Over the past 10 years, President Donald Trump's Small Business Administrator has donated a massive amount of money to various campaigns.

GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich resident Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump's Small Business Administrator, was the nation's most-generous political donor over the past 10 years, giving various campaigns a total of $68.88 million, reports Zippia.com.

Her campaign largess dwarfed the nation's other political donors, including her boss, Trump, who came in second during the period by giving $19.09 million to political candidates. Naturally, McMahon was Connecticut's highest donor, and Trump was New York's.

"We dug into the donations to political parties and PACs by individuals over the last decade," wrote Zippia's Chris Kolmar in describing the site's methodology. "We obtained data from the Federal Election Committee. They provide detailed donation data for individuals from 2007 onwards — around 32,000,000 political donation records."

Before being confirmed as Small Business Administrator, the Republican and former World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive ran unsuccessfully twice for a United States Senate seat from Connecticut.
