Judy McCarthy’s Family

Born Judy Wages on December 6, 1964, she grew up in Frazier Park in California. She is one of four children born to Sharon and Harvey Wages.

Her brother, William Wages, was in the spotlight in 2018 for allegedly lying about his ancestry. Kevin and Judy McCarthy were also cast in the shadow of doubt due to it.

According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, William Wages secured over $7.0 million worth of no-bid and other federal contracts for government properties by claiming he has part Native American ancestry. He got the contracts through Vortex Construction, a company he co-owns with their mother, Sharon Wages.

Vortex reportedly applied for the contracts under the Small Business Administration’s program for minority contractors. And Wages claimed to be of Cherokee background to qualify for the bid.

However, William Wages is listed as white on his birth certificate. Additionally, the paperwork he provided to prove his Native American ancestry is of a group that is not legitimate, according to legally recognized Cherokee tribes.

The Wages family members had different roles in Vortex. Judy McCarthy was also a partner in the business but no longer had ties with it. While the investigation didn’t produce any evidence of it, ethics watchdogs alleged that her brother, Kevin McCarthy, funneled work to Vortex.

McCarthy, however, denied the allegations or ever talking to Wages about his ties to the dubious Northern Cherokee Nation. Nonetheless, their father, Harvey Wages, doubled down on the family’s claims that they had Native American ancestry on his grandmother’s side.

Judy and Kevin McCarthy’s Children

The couple are parents to two children. Their daughter, Meghan (born August 2, 1996), and son Connor (born April 3, 1994).

With Kevin McCarthy’s rising political career, the couple had decided that at least one of them would maintain a flexible schedule for the children. Their arrangement worked well, given Meghan’s battle with Lyme disease that required regular visits to the doctors.
