Professional experience
McKenna has served as a prosecutor for the last decade in a number of different capacities. His legal career began in Franklin County, Ohio in the Civil Division of the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. He also worked as an assistant to the Suffolk County District Attorney in the Organized Crime Division and spent six years as a supervisor in the Grand Jury Unit for the Office of the Worcester County District Attorney.
2010 Attorney General campaign
After the Massachusetts Republican Party failed to find a nominee to compete against failed senatorial candidate Martha Coakley in the election for State Attorney General, he launched a write-in campaign that required 10,000 votes be cast for him in the state's September 14 primary if his name were to appear on the general election ballot. McKenna received 27,711 write-in votes, nearly three times the number he needed, which is a United States and Massachusetts Electoral record. He subsequently lost the election, receiving 37% of the votes.
