WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) released the following statement on Wednesday regarding President-elect Trump’s nomination of Linda McMahon as leader of the Small Business Administration:

 

“The Small Business Administration is a critical resource for job-creators in Connecticut, and the top post is a big job. Linda McMahon’s a talented and experienced businessperson, there’s no doubt about it. She helped shepherd the WWE from a mere idea into an incredibly successful enterprise. Of course I know firsthand what a fierce fighter Linda McMahon is, and though we haven't always seen eye to eye, I have confidence she'll bring that fight to the SBA on behalf of Connecticut small businesses.”
