Kathleen Alana McGinty (born May 11, 1963) is a retired American politician and former state and federal environmental policy official.[1] She served as an environmental advisor to Vice President Al Gore and President Bill Clinton. Later, she served as Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in the cabinet of Governor Ed Rendell.
Prior to the nomination of Lisa P. Jackson, she was mentioned as a possible United States Environmental Protection Agency Administrator under President Barack Obama,[2] as well as a possible candidate to succeed Ed Rendell as Governor of Pennsylvania, but was not a candidate in the 2010 election.[3] McGinty was an unsuccessful candidate for the governorship in 2014.[4] After Democrat Tom Wolf won Pennsylvania's 2014 gubernatorial election, he appointed McGinty as his Chief of Staff.[5]
On August 4, 2015, she officially announced her candidacy for the United States Senate in 2016.[6] McGinty won the Democratic nomination on April 26, 2016, but lost in a close election, with 47.3% of the vote, to incumbent Republican Senator Pat Toomey, who garnered 48.7% in the general election. McGinty served as the Senior Vice President of the Oceans Program for the Environmental Defense Fund.[7] In June 2019, she became the vice-president of global government relations for Johnson Controls.[8]
