Proud Son of Bakersfield

A fourth-generation resident of Kern County, Kevin is the grandson of a cattle rancher and son of a firefighter.

Growing up in a working-class household in Bakersfield, he learned the value of hard work at a young age.

When he was 21 years old, Kevin opened his own small business, Kevin O’s Deli.

As a small business owner, he quickly learned that the margins are thin, the hours are long, and Washington is often a barrier, not an aid, to success.

Kevin sold his business to help put himself through college and graduate school at California State University, Bakersfield.

In 2002, Kevin was elected to represent the 32nd Assembly District in the California State Assembly.

As a freshman legislator, he was unanimously selected by his Republican colleagues to serve as Assembly Republican Leader, becoming the first freshman legislator and the first legislator from Kern County to win this leadership post in the California State Legislature.

Kevin is married to his high school sweetheart, Judy.

They still live in the first house they bought together, and have two children, Connor and Meghan.
