Education

McKay attended Bishop Ireton High School, a private Roman Catholic high school in Alexandria, Virginia .[5] He graduated from James Madison University in December 1996 with a bachelor's degree.[6] He had served as president of the college Young Democrats during his sophomore and senior years.[7]

Career

Shortly after graduating from JMU in 1996, McKay was hired to serve as Chief of Staff to Lee District Supervisor Dana Kauffman.[8] He continued in that position for more than a decade, until Kauffman retired in 2007.[9]

McKay was investigated by the Virginia State Police in 2019.[10] The investigation considered whether McKay's purchase of his family home from a developer friend for $850,000 in 2017 was an undisclosed gift, which would have been a misdemeanor. McKay denied malfeasance, and was later cleared of any wrongdoing.[11]

Personal life

McKay married Crystal Newsome in 2005.[12] They have two children, Leann and Aidan.[13]

gollark: What people would *like*, I suppose, is "each actual person gets some fixed amount of coins per day", but there's no way to enforce that cryptographically.
gollark: Yes, I agree, although the alternative seems to be pretty much be "burn electricity and computing power for new stuff".
gollark: Did it just start with some big pool of them in one account?
gollark: I mean, yes, faucets, but how do new coins come into existence?
