HIGH-LEVEL ENDORSEMENT. Linda McMahon, who served as administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration under former President Donald Trump, on Monday is endorsing Republican Gail Huff Brown for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District U.S. House seat.
McMahon is a co-founder — along with her husband, Vince McMahon — of the WWE, a worldwide wrestling and entertainment organization. She stepped down as CEO of WWE in 2009 and made two unsuccessful runs for the U.S. Senate from Connecticut before being named SBA administrator, a Cabinet-level position, by Trump. She was confirmed to the post by the U.S. Senate by a vote of 81-19.
McMahon left the SBA in 2019 to chair the pro-Trump Super PAC America First Action.
Huff Brown’s campaign said McMahon and Huff Brown got to know each other through their involvement in the Trump administration. Huff Brown served as a diplomatic spouse during the more than three years her husband, former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, served as Trump’s ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.
During that time, Gail Huff Brown served as president of the Diplomatic Spouses Association.
The endorsement comes as Huff Brown prepares to spend the upcoming week focusing on “her pro-business agenda and resolve to work hard to make our economy great again,” her campaign said.
McMahon said in a statement shared by the Huff Brown campaign first with New Hampshire Primary Source:
“With Gail, New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District is in good hands. As a working mother and grandmother, she knows what it’s like to balance a family and a career.
“How many families are struggling right now under the disastrous Biden administration? From a rise in the cost of eggs, milk and meat to a broken supply chain leading into the holiday season, we need to do better.
“As the former administrator for the Small Business Administration under President Trump, I know the pressures of inflation and shipping delays don’t end with the consumer. They are also crippling to our nation’s small businesses.
“Small businesses are the backbone of their communities and the Biden administration seems to be taking every measure to ensure that they fail, from sweeping mandates to our current economic situation.
“With her experience as a reporter, I trust Gail would research and get to the bottom of issues. She would stand up to the Biden Administration and force them to do better, not just for Granite Staters, but for all American families.
“This is why Gail Huff Brown has my complete and total endorsement for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District.”
Huff Brown spent about 30 years as a television reporter, including many of those years at WCVB-TV in Boston.
