About

Patrick McHenry 1Patrick McHenry is serving his eighth term in the United States Congress where he represents the citizens of North Carolina’s 10th District. Congressman McHenry’s district comprises all or parts of eight counties in western North Carolina, from the suburbs of Charlotte to Asheville in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

In the 116th Congress, Congressman McHenry serves as the Republican Leader of the House Financial Services Committee, a committee he has served on since he was elected to Congress. In his role as Republican Leader, Congressman McHenry continues to advocate for innovative solutions that increase access to banking services and credit for American families and small businesses.

Prior to serving as the Republican Leader, Congressman McHenry served as Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, a position he was appointed to at the beginning of the 114th Congress by then Chairman Jeb Hensarling (TX-05).

In 2015, Congressman McHenry was selected by then House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (LA-01) to be the Chief Deputy Whip. As Chief Deputy Whip, Congressman McHenry directly assisted Majority Whip Scalise by building consensus for the conservative policy agenda of the House Republican Conference. One of his proudest accomplishments as Chief Deputy Whip was the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which helped to fix our nation’s broken tax code and provided much-needed tax relief to American families and businesses.

During the 113th Congress, Congressman McHenry served as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.  In this role, he provided oversight of the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other federal financial regulators. Congressman McHenry was previously a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

In addition to his leadership roles on the Financial Services Committee, Congressman McHenry has successfully passed important legislation into law that helps entrepreneurs and startup investing.  In the 114th Congress, Congressman McHenry authored the “RAISE Act” (Reforming Access for Investments in Startup Enterprises), which was signed into law by President Obama, providing the means for startup employees to sell their stock options to private investors.

Additionally, Congressman McHenry authored the primary legislation to legalize equity-based crowdfunding in the United States. The crowdfunding language he first authored in 2011 was eventually included in the JOBS Act which President Obama signed into law in April 2012. In recognition of his work supporting crowdfunding, Congressman McHenry was presented with the 2013 “Crowdfunding Visionary Award” by the Global Crowdfunding Convention. Congressman McHenry was also awarded the Crowdfunding Leadership Award by the University of California at Berkeley Fung Institute’s Program for Innovation in Entrepreneurial Finance in 2013.

Congressman McHenry’s interest in crowdfunding and capital formation more broadly developed as a child, when his father attempted to grow a small business but struggled for financing. It was this experience—and the lack of small business financing in rural western North Carolina—that drove Congressman McHenry to become a leader on crowdfunding, capital formation, and other forms of disruptive finance. Recently this has expanded to encompass fintech as he works with industry leaders to discover innovative ways to combine finance and technology with the goal of expanding access to capital for America’s entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Throughout his career, Congressman McHenry has been a vocal and effective advocate for the men and women who wear the uniform of our country.  He received awards from the North Carolina Chapters of the American Legion and Marine Corps League for his extensive work in bringing a veterans’ health care clinic to his district after nearly two decades of delay.  The National Guard presented Patrick McHenry with the Charles Dick Medal of Merit for his exceptional service to the North Carolina National Guard.

Congressman McHenry has been recognized as a leader of the conservative movement in America.  Having never voted for a tax increase in his career, Congressman McHenry is continually recognized as a “Hero of the Taxpayer” by Americans for Tax Reform.

Congressman McHenry is the recipient of several additional awards including: the National Association of Manufacturing’s “Manufacturing Legislative Excellence” Award, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council’s “Small Business Champion” Award, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Spirit of Enterprise” Award, the 60 Plus Association’s “Guardian of Seniors’ Rights” Award, the Family Research Council’s “True Blue” Award, and Citizens Against Government Waste’s “Taxpayer Hero” Award. In 2009 he was recognized by Time Magazine as one of the “40 Under 40,” a list of rising stars in American politics.

Most importantly, Congressman McHenry continues to listen to the voters of the 10th District and act as their voice in Washington.  His main focus is to provide the highest level of constituent services at home in western North Carolina.

Prior to being elected to Congress in 2004 at the age of 29, Congressman McHenry represented the 109th District in the North Carolina House of Representatives. He also served as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor, a post he was appointed to by President George W. Bush.

Congressman McHenry is a graduate of Ashbrook High School in Gastonia, N.C. and Belmont Abbey College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in History.  Congressman McHenry and his wife Giulia live in Denver, N.C. and worship at Holy Spirit Church.  They are the parents of two daughters, Cecelia Rose and Therese Anne (who goes by Rese).

Patrick Timothy McHenry (born October 22, 1975) is an American politician currently serving as U.S. representative for North Carolina’s 10th congressional district since 2005, which includes the communities of Hickory and Mooresville. He is also chair of the House Financial Services Committee since 2023.[1][2] A member of the Republican Party, he served as a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives for one term before being elected to Congress.

McHenry served as a House Republican chief deputy whip from 2014 to 2019 and ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee from 2019 to 2023, of which he is now chair. McHenry acted as Speaker pro tempore of the House for 22 days, from October 3, 2023, to October 25, 2023, following the removal of Kevin McCarthy via a motion to vacate.[3][4]

Early life, education, and career

McHenry was born in Gastonia, North Carolina. He grew up in suburban Gastonia, the son of the owner of the Dixie Lawn Care Company,[5] and attended Ashbrook High School.[6] A Roman Catholic, he was the youngest of five children.

McHenry attended North Carolina State University before transferring to Belmont Abbey College.[5] At Belmont, he founded the school’s College Republican chapter,[5] then became chair of the North Carolina Federation of College Republicans and treasurer of the College Republican National Committee.

In 1998, while a junior in college, McHenry ran for the North Carolina House of Representatives. He won the Republican primary but lost the general election.[7]

After earning a B.A. in history in 1999, McHenry worked for the media consulting firm DCI/New Media in Washington, D.C. He was involved in Rick Lazio‘s campaign in the 2000 United States Senate election in New York; his main project was running a Web site, NotHillary.com.[5] In 2012, he received an honorary M.B.A. in entrepreneurship from the now-closed Yorktown University.

Early political career

In mid-2000, Karl Rove hired McHenry to be the national coalition director for George W. Bush‘s 2000 presidential campaign.[5] In late 2000 and early 2001, he was a volunteer coordinator for Bush’s inaugural committee. After working for six months in 2001 as a special assistant to Elaine Chao, the United States Secretary of Labor, McHenry returned to North Carolina and ran again for the North Carolina General Assembly, winning in the 2002 election.[8]

A resident of Denver, North Carolina, McHenry represented the state’s 109th House district, including constituents in Gaston County, for the 2003–04 session. He sat on the House Appropriations Committee.

U.S. House of Representatives

McHenry is known on Capitol Hill for his preference for bow ties.[3]

Committee assignments

Caucus memberships

At age 29, McHenry was the youngest member of the 109th United States Congress; 27-year-old Aaron Schock of Illinois took office in the 111th United States Congress in January 2009.[needs update] He is a deputy whip and vice chair of finance for the National Republican Congressional Committee‘s executive committee.[11]

Tenure

Baghdad video

McHenry was the subject of discussion in April 2008, regarding a video posted on his congressional campaign website that featured him in the Green Zone in Baghdad, pointing out landmarks and destruction after missile attacks. Veterans’ affairs blog VetVoice posted a scathing attack, claiming the video violated operations security.[12] McHenry later removed the video after discussing the information with the Pentagon, which requested he not place the video back online.[13] Lance Sigmon, McHenry’s opponent, later called a press conference to demand an investigation of the video’s effect on Green Zone troops.[14][full citation needed] Sigmon attacked McHenry in a campaign ad about this controversy, prompting McHenry to threaten legal action, claiming the ad was false.

Use of PAC funds

On April 16, 2008, Roll Call reported that McHenry used funds from his political action committee, “More Conservatives”, to fund the defense of former aide Michael Aaron Lay’s voter fraud charges incurred during McHenry’s 2004 race.[15] McHenry gave Lay $20,000 to pay legal bills on charges brought while Lay worked for him.[15] These expenses were labeled a “Legal Expense Donation”, according to Federal Election Commission reports. Lay agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement, which stipulated he complete 100 hours of community service and pay $240.50 in court fees and $250 in community service fees to have the charges dismissed.[citation needed] An employee of the 2004 campaign, Lay lived in McHenry’s home in Cherryville, which also served as the campaign headquarters during the 2004 election, and was indicted for voter fraud in McHenry’s election, allegedly voting illegally in two separate instances.[16] In response, McHenry claimed the case was part of a “three-year smear campaign” by District Attorney Locke Bell,[17] despite Bell fund-raising for McHenry in previous elections.[18][full citation needed]

Elizabeth Warren

On May 24, 2011, Elizabeth Warren, appointed by President Obama to oversee the development of the new U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), attended a House subcommittee meeting chaired by McHenry, who invited her because he felt she had given misleading testimony during another hearing. Earlier that day, McHenry had appeared on CNBC and accused Warren of lying to Congress about her involvement in government inquiries into mortgage servicing.[19]

The meeting had several late and last-minute changes, so Warren altered her schedule to accommodate his request. Around 2:15 p.m., McHenry called for a temporary recess to partake in a floor vote. In response, Warren indicated that McHenry’s staff had agreed to the 2:15 p.m. closing time to allow her ample time to attend another meeting. McHenry replied, “You had no agreement. You’re making this up, Ms. Warren. This is not the case.” As Warren and some in the audience reacted with surprise, Representative Elijah Cummings interjected, “Mr. Chairman, I’m trying to be cordial here, but you just accused the lady of lying. I think you need to clear this up with your staff.”[20]

The CFPB confirmed the agreement, but McHenry refused to apologize for his remarks to Warren.[21]

The Hickory Daily Record, the largest paper in McHenry’s district, called for McHenry to apologize, saying that it was “unacceptable for any member of Congress, especially a subcommittee chairman”, to treat a witness in the manner in which he treated Warren.[22]

Payday lenders

McHenry supported a 2020 rule change by the Trump administration whereby payday lenders would no longer have to check whether prospective borrowers can afford to repay high-interest loans.[23]

2020 presidential election

McHenry did not join the majority of Republican members of Congress who sided with the Trump campaign’s attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. He voted to certify Arizona’s and Pennsylvania’s votes in the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count.[24]

Speaker pro tempore

Patrick McHenry addressing the House after assuming pro tempore speakership

On October 3, 2023, McHenry was appointed as Speaker pro tempore of the United States House of Representatives, after a successful motion to vacate led to the removal of Kevin McCarthy from the speakership.[4] Subsequently, he ordered that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi vacate one of her offices in the U.S. Capitol building.[25] On October 4, the former majority leader, Steny Hoyer, was also ordered to vacate his Capitol Hill hideaway office.[26]

In December 2023, McHenry announced that he would not seek reelection in 2024.[27] McHenry had previously announced running for reelection for an 11th term in October following the elections for a new Speaker in the House.[28]

Political campaigns

2004

In 2004, after one term in the North Carolina General Assembly, McHenry ran for Congress in the 10th Congressional district when nine-term incumbent Cass Ballenger retired. McHenry faced a heavily contested primary and bested his closest opponent, Catawba County Sheriff David Huffman, in a runoff by only 85 votes.

In the general election, McHenry won 64% of the popular vote, defeating Democrat Anne Fischer. It was generally thought McHenry’s victory in the primary runoff was tantamount to election in November: his district is considered North Carolina’s most Republican district, having sent Republicans to represent it since 1963.

2006

In the 2006 election, McHenry defeated Democrat Richard Carsner with almost 62% of the vote.

2008

In 2008, McHenry defeated Lance Sigmon in the Republican primary with 67% of the vote and faced Democrat Daniel Johnson in the general election. Johnson was considered the strongest and best-funded Democrat to run in the district in over 20 years. In part because of this, the Cook Political Report moved the race from “Safe Republican” to “Likely Republican.” This meant that in Charlie Cook‘s opinion, while McHenry still had a considerable advantage, a victory by Johnson could not be ruled out. Shortly after the Cook Political Report’s update, Stuart Rothenberg of the Rothenberg Political Report, also a nonpartisan analysis of American politics and elections, addressed the race and indicated his opinion that an upset was unlikely.[29] McHenry defeated Johnson, 58% to 42%.[30]

2010

McHenry defeated Republicans Vance Patterson, Scott Keadle, and David Michael Boldon with 63.09% of the vote to win the primary.[31] He defeated Democrat Jeff Gregory with 71.18% of the vote in the general election.[32]

2012

McHenry defeated Ken Fortenberry and Don Peterson with 72.54% of the vote in the primary.[33] He defeated Democrat Patsy Keever in the general election with 56.99% of the vote.[34]

2014

McHenry defeated Richard Lynch in the primary with 78.04% of the vote.[35] He defeated Democrat Tate MacQueen with 61.02% of the vote in the general election.[36]

2016

McHenry defeated Jeff Gregory, Jeffrey Baker, and Albert Lee Wiley Jr. with 78.42% of the vote in the primary.[37] He defeated Democrat Andy Millard with 63.14% of the vote in the general election.[38]

2018

McHenry defeated a host of fellow Republicans in the primary with 70.72% of the vote.[39] He defeated Democrat David Wilson Brown with 59.29% percent of the vote in the general election.[40]

2020

McHenry defeated David Johnson and Ralf Walters in the primary with 71.67% of the vote.[41] He defeated Democrat David Parker with 68.91% of the vote in the general election.[42]

2022

McHenry defeated five opponents in the primary with 68.1% of the vote.[43] He defeated Democrat Pam Genant with 72.6% of the vote in the general election.[44]

Personal life

McHenry has been married to Giulia Cangiano since 2010.[45][46] They live in Denver, North Carolina, and have three children.[47]

McHenry was bitten by a rabid fox while running through Capitol Hill in 2022.[48]

In 2023, fellow Republican congressman Mike Lawler told interviewer Julie Mason that McHenry had saved his 15-month-old daughter’s life after she began choking on her food at an event.[49]
