About this user

Congressman John Yarmuth represents Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Passionate about honest and open government, as well as issues involving working families and students, Congressman Yarmuth sought and received appointments to the Committee on Education and Labor (Subcommittee on Higher Education, Lifelong Learning, and Competitiveness and Subcommittee on Healthy Families and Communities) as well as the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs and Subcommittee on Information, Policy Census, and National Archives). He serves as President of the Freshman Class, an At Large Whip for the majority party, and he was named 2007 Legislator of the Year by the Kentucky Reading Association and "Outstanding New Member of Congress" by the Committee for Education Funding, the largest non-partisan education organization in the nation. While in office, he has received 100% ratings from the League of Conservation Voters, Children's Defense Fund, National Catholic Social Justice Lobby, and American Association of University Women, as well as a 96% from the NAACP.

Though best known for his work in the media, Congressman Yarmuth's diverse career, prior to entering the political arena, gave him a solid background in policy, business, higher education, and health care. Congressman Yarmuth previously worked on Capitol Hill as Legislative Aide for Kentucky Senator Marlow Cook from 1971 to 1974, before moving back to Louisville to publish Louisville Today Magazine. He went on to work as Associate Vice President of University Relations at the University of Louisville and Vice President of a local healthcare firm.

In 1990, Congressman Yarmuth founded LEO Newsweekly, a free publication with approximately 150,000 monthly readers. With Congressman Yarmuth as editor, LEO won nearly 100 Metro Louisville Journalism Awards, 16 of which were awarded to Congressman Yarmuth for his editorial and column writing. He owned the paper from 1990 to 2003, and continued writing his columns through 2005.

On television he debated local and national politics as co-host and commentator on WAVE 3's "Yarmuth & Ziegler" in 2003 and "Hot Button" in 2004 and 2005.

Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Congressman Yarmuth graduated from Atherton High School where he served as student government president. He went on to earn a degree in American Studies from Yale University. He and his wife Cathy have been married for 25 years. Their son Aaron graduated from Indiana University in 2006.
