Mary Katharine Ham (born April 5, 1980) is an American journalist. She is editor at large of Hot Air, a contributing editor to Townhall Magazine, senior writer at The Federalist[1] and a CNN contributor. At CPAC 2014, she was presented with the ACU Blogger of the Year award.[2] She was previously a Fox News Channel contributor.[3]

Career

Ham wrote for the Richmond County Daily Journal, Townhall.com where she was a columnist and managing editor, and The Washington Examiner.[4] Her video blog series for Townhall.com, HamNation, won a Golden Dot award for Best Vlog of 2006 from the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet and her HamNation video, "Sopranos DC", was voted "Video of the Year" in the 2007 Weblog Awards.[5] The series ended in June 2008.[6]

Ham was a host of The Morning Majority (5–9 a.m., Monday-Friday) on WMAL (simulcast on 105.9 FM and 630 AM) in Washington, D.C., until March 5, 2012.[7][8]

On February 4, 2014, she appeared on The View as a guest co-host.[9] Ham describes her political leaning as "primarily fiscal- and security-conscious conservative".[10]

At CPAC 2014, she was presented with the ACU Blogger of the Year award.[2][11]

Personal life

Ham was married to Jake Brewer, a White House aide and co-founder of the immigration activism group, Define American. The couple married in 2011; two years later, Ham gave birth to their first child, a girl. Brewer died from injuries sustained in a bicycle accident in September 2015,[12][13][13][14] Ham gave birth to their second child, a girl, in late 2015.[15] In 2011 she ran the Marine Corps Marathon in 4:22:14 with her husband. In 2016 while again running the MCM on an unseasonably warm day (4:44:10) she raised over $35,000 for one of her late husband's favorite charities "The Travis Manion Foundation", which benefits family members of American troops who died in war.

Her father, Jon Ham, is also a journalist and blogger.[16]
