As a child, she developed an interest in politics and law early on, mostly thanks to her parents’ influence and their connections, one example being her father’s friendship with former US President Bill Clinton since their teens up to the present-day, and her mother’s cherished connection with his wife Hillary Clinton. As for her education, Adrienne attended Siloam Springs High School, from where she matriculated in 1994, then enrolled into the Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, graduating with a bachelor of arts degree in journalism in 1998. She planned on getting an education in law later, but never got around to it.

Elrod had no employment prior to graduation, but immediately after which she became a White House executive assistant to the President, for Intergovernmental Affairs. She spent two years garnering experience in this position, then submitted her resignation in 2000. There isn’t much info about the next three years of her career, though she’s believed to have waited for the perfect job offer while honing her knowledge. In October 2003 she joined Congressman Mike Ross’ team as communications director, and the next year went on a leave of absence to serve as the campaign manager for the re-election campaign of Congressman Nick Lampson.

The democratic scandal

Being a Democrat, especially one who closely collaborated with Hillary Clinton, Adrienne recently had to state her opinion on the behavior of an alleged sexual predator, who according to the testimony of more than 10 women, disrespected them in various ways with allusions to sexual assault. The man in question is Mark Halperin, and as can be read in Washington Examiner’s article, Elrod had a few things to say about the newfound truth. She, like most other Democrats, sought to distance herself from the embarrassment Halperin caused to the party.

Love life: Who is her husband?

So, does this entrepreneur have a partner? Many have wondered who Adrienne’s boyfriend or husband could be, in fact whether she has one.

To the present-day, no credible source is able to answer this question, since Elrod chose not to disclose such information, although she’s never been seen in public with a possible suitor. Until she decides to open up to the public about her romantic involvements, the fans aren’t even keen on speculating regarding this topic – on television, she was asked one time about her relationship status. Elrod skillfully avoided this question, and remains silent on the matter. She resides supposedly alone at an undisclosed location in Fayetteville, Arkansas with a dog named Bernie.

What does she like besides politics?

In her free time, Adrienne enjoys spending time with her dog, often posting pictures with it on social media.

She has a strong affinity for wintry regions, regularly spending vacations in ski resorts and mountain cottages. Elrod also finds pleasure in hiking and cycling, as well as Bikram Yoga.

The entrepreneur likes getting up early and sticking to a strict daily schedule, part of which is her controlled, healthy diet. One of her guilty pleasures is beer, specifically Stella Artois, and she enjoys it the most after a long cycle ride.

The duality

In it, the two advisors of opposing parties shared their expertise on the matter of elevating one’s name in politics, both offering invaluable advice to those just entering the political scene, with a heavy focus on the female part of this group.

Her thoughts on a like-minded woman

In August 2019 US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand officially dropped out of the 2020 Presidential race, which then piqued the interest of the public, casting a spotlight on the achievements she hoped to attain in the long run. According to an article by Fortune, Elrod was one of the first officials to comment on Gillibrand’s efforts, saying ‘She brought a vice to women, helping to  give them a voice on economic security, reproductive rights, really honing in on and focusing on women.’
