And I am forever grateful for the chance to work for the people of my hometown. ”

Prior to McConnell’s office, Wood worked in the D.C. office for U.S. Congressman Brett Guthrie of Kentucky’s 2nd District. In 2015, Wood earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Asbury University and served as student body president from 2014-2015.
