Ms. Carleton "Carly" S. Fiorina


Self Description

Third-Party Descriptions

November 2010: "Although Whitman shattered all previous records, she was hardly alone. Other rich losers this year included former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, who gave or loaned her Connecticut Senate campaign $47 million; former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina, who tapped into personal accounts for $5.5 million; and GOP businessman John Raese, who used $4.7 million of his own money in losing the Senate race in West Virginia."

June 2010: "Meanwhile, Carly Fiorina, a fellow former C.E.O., snagged the party’s Senate nomination by spending several million dollars of her fortune on last-minute ads. She was running against a well-thought-of former elected official who wasn’t particularly wealthy and was crushed, crushed, crushed. (Whitman, on the other hand, was running against another richie, who simply made the mistake of thinking $25 million would be enough to seal the deal.)"
