Pennington most recently served as Rep. Nikema Williams' (D-Ga.) legislative director. Prior to joining Williams' office, he was legislative director for former Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.). During his five years on the Hill, Pennington covered various issues, such as education and social welfare, and advocated for the integration of the STEM to STEAM Act into the CHIPS and Science Act.
