More on Kevin McCarthy
Description from Wikipedia:
Kevin McCarthy (born January 26 1965) is a U.S. politician who is the Congressman for the 22nd District of California. Prior to his election as a Congressman, he had served two terms in the California State Assembly, including two years as the Republican Floor Leader.
Born in Bakersfield, California, McCarthy is a fourth-generation resident of Kern County. McCarthy opened his first business, Kevin O's Deli, at the age of 21 to raise money to go to California State University, Bakersfield, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in marketing in 1989 and Master of Business Administration in 1994. McCarthy ran several other small businesses prior to his entry into the political field.
From 1999 to 2001 McCarthy served as Chairman of the Young Republican National Federation, one of the strongest political organizations in the country.
From the late 1990s until 2002, McCarthy served as the District Director for U.S. Congressman Bill Thomas, the Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. In 2000, McCarthy was elected as a Trustee on the Kern Community College District Board, winning 13% more votes than his nearest competitor.
On November 7 2006, McCarthy was elected to represent the 22nd Congressional District, replacing his former boss, retiring congressman Thomas. Since entering Congress, he has been labeled a rising star within his party. As a freshman, he was appointed to the Republican Steering Committee.
McCarthy and his wife Judy have two children. They are lifelong residents of Bakersfield.
