Timeline
Karen McCarthy (March 18, 1947 – October 5, 2010) was an American educator and politician.
She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and English from the University of Kansas in 1969 and a Master of Arts in English Education from the University of Missouri–Kansas City in 1976.
McCarthy later earned an M.B.A. at the University of Kansas.
Prior to running for public office, McCarthy taught English at Shawnee Mission South High School and the Sunset Hill School.
First elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in 1976 as a Democrat, McCarthy was re-elected eight times, generally with little opposition.
She was also a congressional representative to the Kyoto Protocol on global climate change and a Harvard fellow at the Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government "The Politics of Alternative Energies", in the fall of 1982.
She became a ranking party member in the state House, serving on numerous committees including chairman of Ways and Means (1983-1995), and a member of the Appropriations and Energy committees.
McCarthy served as co-chair of the Missouri Commission of Global Climate Change, an extensive two-year (1989–1991) study of scientific data to develop environmental and economic policy options for state action.
McCarthy also served as the first female president of the National Conference of State Legislatures in 1994.
In 1994, Congressman Alan Wheat ran for the U.S. Senate, leaving an open seat.
McCarthy won a crowded six-way primary, and then defeated Republican Ron Freeman with 56 percent of the vote.
She was easily reelected four more times.
McCarthy served on the Energy and Commerce committee (subcommittees: Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection, Energy and Air Quality, Telecommunications and Internet and Environment and Hazardous Materials) and the Select Committee on Homeland Security as the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence and Counterterrorism subcommittee.
She served as the U.S. representative for the fifth district of Missouri from 1995 to 2005.
McCarthy was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts and grew up in Leawood, Kansas, and graduated from Shawnee Mission East High School.
McCarthy announced in 2003 that she wouldn't run for a sixth term in 2004 after revealing that she suffered from alcoholism.
A widely reported incident in which an intoxicated McCarthy fell down inside a House office building forced her to admit her problem and seek treatment.
In December 2003, McCarthy announced that she wouldn't seek another term in the House.
McCarthy returned to Kansas City, Missouri where she sat on a number of boards and was an active fundraiser and sponsor for a variety of cultural and political activities.
Selected honors include the Missouri Citizens for the Arts 2005 Advocacy Award and the Business and Professional Women of the USA's Woman of the Year award.
In June 2009, her family revealed that McCarthy was suffering from an advanced form of Alzheimer's disease and was residing in a nursing home.
Their statement said her difficulties were compounded by a bipolar disorder that apparently went undiagnosed for at least a decade.
A non-injury car accident involving McCarthy at her home in April prompted her friends to seek medical help which revealed her illnesses.
McCarthy died on October 5, 2010, at age 63.
