STAMFORD, Conn. Linda McMahon and her husband, Vince, first moved the headquarters of World Wrestling Entertainment to Stamford in the mid-1980s.
As the former chief executive officer of the global corporation, McMahon, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, likes the growing business environment of the city, mentioning the coming arrival of NBC Sports Group. On a personal level, she also enjoys helping the Ferguson Library, and spending time in the vibrant downtown area as well.
