Long-time Kentucky senator and Republican Addison Mitchell McConnell III. He was appointed majority leader of the Senate in 2014.
He began his career as an elected representative in 1977 when he was appointed judge-executive of Jefferson County. His political acumen helped him to climb to the position of minority leader in 2006 after being selected as a moderate Republican for the U.S. Senate in 1984.
McConnell contributed to a change in public sentiment against Democratic leadership of Congress by openly criticizing former President Barack Obama’s legislative goals. The newly elected Senate majority leader created history after Justice Antonin Scalia passed away in 2016 by infamously forbidding Senate hearings for a new Supreme Court nominee.
