Mary Katharine Ham (born April 5, 1980) is an American journalist. She is a contributing editor for Townhall Magazine, a writer at The Federalist,[1] and a CNN contributor.[2] She previously worked as a Fox News contributor and an editor-at-large for Hot Air.[3]
Career
Ham wrote for the Richmond County Daily Journal, Townhall.com where she was a columnist and managing editor, and The Washington Examiner.[4] Her video blog series for Townhall.com, HamNation, won a Golden Dot award for Best Vlog of 2006 from the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet and her HamNation video, "Sopranos DC," was voted "Video of the Year" in the 2007 Weblog Awards.[5] The series ended in June 2008.[6]
Ham was a host of The Morning Majority (5–9 a.m., Monday–Friday) on WMAL (simulcast on 105.9 FM and 630 AM) in Washington, D.C., until March 5, 2012.[7][8]
Ham describes her political leaning as "primarily fiscal- and security-conscious conservative".[9]
At the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference, she was presented with the American Conservative Union Blogger of the Year award.[2][10]
In October 2022, Ham wrote that she had been quiet-suspended from work at CNN for seven months after commenting on colleague Jeffrey Toobin's sexual activities while at work.[11]
Personal life
Ham was married to Jacob Brewer, a White House aide.[12] The couple married in 2011; two years later, Ham gave birth to their first child, a girl.[13] Brewer died from serious injuries sustained in a bicycle accident on September 19, 2015.[14] Ham gave birth to their second child, a girl, in late 2015.[15]
Ham remarried on March 7, 2020,[16] to a man "who has no social media presence".[17] As of February, 2022, Ham has three daughters.[18]
