Sherrill Redmon: Who Is Mitch McConnell’s Ex-Wife?

Sherrill Redmon is the first wife of lawmaker Mitch McConnell.

They were married for 12 years and have three children together: Elly, Porter, and Claire.

Sherrill Redmon was married to Mitch McConnell from 1968 to 1980.

McConnell is a longtime lawmaker who has been called “the most conservative leader of either party in the history of the Senate.”

McConnell is only the second Kentuckian to ever serve as Majority Leader in the US Senate and is the longest-serving Senate Republican Leader in the country’s history.

In January 2021, he became the Minority Leader in the US Senate after Democrats won both Senate seats in Georgia. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York serves as the current Majority Leader.

He has earned a reputation as a “master tactician,” according to his online bio.

McConnell is married to Secretary Elaine Chao, the US Secretary of Transportation, and he has three daughters.

He was first elected to the Senate in 1984.

McConnell was one of former President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters since his election in 2016.

But he appeared to break from his typically pro-Trump stance when he finally congratulated Joe Biden on being president-elect.
