Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced his marriage to Carolyn Grace Moffa, a former congressional staffer, in a social media post Monday morning, with a photo of him in tuxedo and his bride in a wedding dress.
“Carolyn and I would like to announce our recent marriage! We were legally married in Kentucky on October 19th by the pastor of the church we have been attending for several months. This weekend we celebrated with close friends and family at a Christian wedding ceremony in Pennsylvania where Carolyn is from,” Massie said on a post on X.
The announcement came about a year and half after Massie’s wife of 35 years passed away.
Massie said he met Moffa more than 10 years ago while she was an agriculture policy staffer for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), adding she “was a very early proponent and practitioner of Making America Healthy Again.”
“She even visited me and my late wife Rhonda on our grass-fed cattle farm several years ago,” Massie added. “Carolyn has not previously been married.”
LegiStorm lists Moffa as working for Paul between 2011 and 2016 in various roles.
Massie in June of last year announced his wife Rhonda Massie’s death. The Kentucky Republican had been with his former wife for over 35 years.
“Yesterday my high school sweetheart, the love of my life for over 35 years, the loving mother of our 4 children, the smartest kindest woman I ever knew, my beautiful and wise queen forever, Rhonda went to Heaven,” Massie said on the social platform X at the time.
