Judy McCarthy and Kevin McCarthy Kids

Kevin McCarthy and his wife had their first child, Connor McCarthy, in 1994. Two years later, Meghan McCarthy was born.

When Connor was a student at Georgetown University, his father, Kevin, took him to some White House events as a reward for his hard work. One of these events was a dinner with Japan in 2015. Kevin wanted to celebrate Connor’s graduation.

Connor was married to someone he really loves in December. Although the wedding was small, the family’s happiness for them was tremendous. Kevin felt very proud and delighted for Connor.

When Meghan was younger, she suffered from Lyme disease, and her mother, Judy, described how tough she was during her treatment.

It has been Connor and Meghan’s honor to support their dad, cheering for him during important moments, such as when he was elected Speaker of the House.
