Kevin McCarthy – Connor McCarthy
Not everyone with a famous last name craves the spotlight, and Connor McCarthy proves it. Born in 1993, he’s the son of Kevin McCarthy, the former Speaker of the House, but politics was never his calling. Instead, he pursued journalism, making waves as an Emmy-winning reporter.
A Cal Poly graduate, he built his career in television news, covering everything from local politics to breaking stories. In 2015, he snagged a White House state dinner invite—his dad’s way of rewarding him for staying on top of his studies. Also, in 2020, he tied the knot in a private ceremony, with his proud dad sharing the moment online.
