Lowell Palmer Weicker, Jr. (1931-2023) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative and Senator from Connecticut, as well as the state's 85th Governor (1991-1995). He is best remembered for his unsuccessful run for the Republican nomination for President in 1980, as well as for his involvement as one of the seven members of the Senate Watergate Committee whose investigations led to the resignation of President Nixon. Although a member of the Republican Party while in Congress, he later left and became one of the few independents to be elected as a state governor of the U.S. Interestingly, Weicker also served as a member of the Board of Directors of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. prior to stepping down in 2011.
