Ex-wrestling exec to make 2nd Senate bid in Conn. (AP)

HARTFORD, Conn. ? Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon will make a second run for U.S. Senate in Connecticut.

In a statement released Monday, the Republican said she plans to kick off her campaign Tuesday in Southington at a business that designs and manufactures custom-built coil processing machines.

The former chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment ran against former Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in 2010, but lost after spending about $50 million of her own money on the race.

McMahon would face former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays in a potential 2012 GOP primary. Shays has already said he plans to officially announce his candidacy next month.

Both are hoping to fill the seat now held by independent Sen. Joe Lieberman. Several Democrats have already announced plans to run.
