House Republicans have elected Representative Kevin McCarthy as their new Majority Leader.  He will assume office July 31.

After his election, McCarthy said, "I'll make one promise: I will work every single day to make sure this Conference has the courage to lead with the wisdom to listen, and we'll turn this country around."

With this promotion McCarthy continues his rapid political rise.  He is in only his fourth term, having been first elected in 2006.  He rose fast with election as Majority Whip in 2010.

Kevin McCarthy represents the 23rd Congressional District, which includes most of Kern and Tulare Counties, plus a bit of northeastern Los Angeles County.  (See the map.)  It includes much of Bakersfield, Lancaster, Edwards Air Force Base, and Sequoia National Forest.
