More D.C. love for Kevin McCarthy

Congressman Kevin McCarthy has racked up more kudos.

He’s been named House “Rookie of the Year” by readers of Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, and Congress.org.

It wasn’t even close: McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, got 37.4 percent of the vote.

This is how the rest of the top House “rookies” fared:

• Rep. Paul Hodes, D-N.H.: 15.4 percent

• Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa.: 9.6 percent

• Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. 8.1 percent

• Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa.: 7.9 percent

• Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.: 7.7 percent

• Other: 13.9 percent

Roll Call made the nominations for this and other awards while voting was done by readers. There were 5,664 votes cast, the publication said.

Other awards given included most valuable player, fireman of the Congress (meaning best legislative save), lifetime achievement and squeaky wheel.

McCarthy was recently named chief deputy whip of House Republicans, the third highest leadership post in his House caucus. He was chair of the GOP convention platform writing committee and last year was profiled by the Weekly Standard as one of three “Young Guns of the House GOP.”
