You know, the state of Connecticut is... sometimes it's a provincial state. And I've been working very hard to get the endorsement of the people within our state, and ultimately, the ultimate endorsement is from the voters in the state of Connecticut.

During the 2008 Presidential election Smackdown your Vote! registered many voters online often in affiliation with Rock the Vote. Under her leadership WWE was the recipient of the USO of Metropolitan Washington's first ever “Legacy of Hope” award for its extensive support of U. At the party convention McMahon received the most support but Simmons received enough votes to qualify for the ballot for the August 10 primary although he was not actively campaigning.

She also started the company's civic programs Get REAL and Smackdown Your Vote. McMahon has occasionally performed in the ring most notably in a wrestling feud with her husband which climaxed at WrestleMania X-Seven. McMahon was the 2012 Republican nominee for Connecticut's other Senate seat to replace retiring Senator Joe Lieberman in the general election in November 2012 but lost again this time to Democratic Representative Chris Murphy.
