Cochran Marries Longtime Staffer

Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) married his longtime aide Kay Webber in a private family ceremony on Saturday, the Jackson Clarion Ledger reports.

“Cochran’s relationship with Webber became the topic of much speculation and intrigue during last year’s Republican U.S. Senate primary. Supporters of challenger Chris McDaniel accused Cochran of carrying on an affair with Webber. Cochran’s office denied any kind of affair.”
