Kentucky Rep. Massie Remarries Amid Reelection Bid

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky remarried Carolyn Grace Moffa, a former agriculture policy staffer for Sen. Rand Paul; the couple were legally married Oct. 19 in Kentucky and held a Christian celebration in Pennsylvania attended by Sen. Rand Paul and Reps. Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Victoria Spartz. Massie lost his wife of 31 years, Rhonda, in June 2024, and the timing of his remarriage roughly a year later drew criticism from commentators. Massie said Moffa has helped re-establish ducks and chickens on his Kentucky farm, where the couple plan to live while he continues duties in Washington, D.C. Massie, who represents Kentucky’s 4th District and is seeking reelection, faces a Trump-backed primary challenger, and allies including Rand Paul have signaled support. Massie has four adult children and three grandchildren and asked for prayers as Moffa “steps into the arena” with him.
