Sen. Boozman LD moves to university federal relations

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 19, 2022

After ten years working for the Senate, a senior aide to Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) has a new job in federal relations.

Mackensie McKernan is now assistant vice president of federal relations for the University of Tennessee System. The university system lobbies on a host of appropriations issues.

McKernan spent the last five years as legislative director to Boozman, who sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee and chairs the Agriculture Committee. She's also worked for then-Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.).
