[Maya-Python] (Maya Python) Is there a way to run a command from a menuItem inside a objectMenu

[Kat Patterson]

I am in need of some help, not sure how active this forum is anymore.

I am looking to see if there is any way to make a optionMenu run a command 
for each option in the drop down menu? I am pretty new to maya python so I 
do not know very much, but google is less helpful than finding everything 
out myself.

Here is the code that i currently have, I just am not sure how to connect 
the commands to the actual window ui;
