Kevin Owen McCarthy is the House majority leader of the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. representative for California's 23rd District.
McCarthy was born in Bakersfield, California, the son of Roberta (née Palladino), a homemaker, and Owen McCarthy, an assistant city fire chief
McCarthy is a fourth-generation resident of Kern County. He is the first Republican in his immediate family, as his parents were members of the Democratic Party.
At the age of 19, he opened his first business, a delicatessen, after winning five thousand dollars with a lottery ticket.He subsequently sold the deli, to attend California State University, Bakersfield, where he obtained a B.S. in marketing, in 1989, and an M.B.A., in 1994.
In a September 29, 2015 Fox TV interview with Sean Hannity, McCarthy asserted that the Benghazi Special Panel investigation had negatively impacted Hillary Clinton's polling numbers, citing this as an example of a "Conservative Congress implementing a Conservative strategy". Many media outlets and Democratic lawmakers interpreted this comment as an admission that the investigation was a partisan political undertaking rather than a substantive inquiry
HE IS A SOUTHERN BAPTIST
