Before entering electoral politics, McCarthy served on the staff of Congressman Bill Thomas and was chair of the Young Republican National Federation between 1999 and 2001.[1][2] He won his first election in 2000, being elected to represent Area 3 of the Kern Community College District Board of Trustees, and would later go on to be elected to the California State Assembly in 2002 and the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006.[1]
