Kathleen Troia McFarland

Kathleen Troia McFarland

Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland (born 1951) was a Republican candidate for the Senate seat won by Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2006. She was deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs at The Pentagon from 1982 to 1985 under President Ronald Reagan and speech writer to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger.

McFarland ran as a Republican in the New York United States Senate election, 2006, for the seat now held by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. She was defeated by former Yonkers mayor John Spencer.

2006 Senate campaign

McFarland has never held elected office. She ran as a Republican for election to the United States Senate in the 2006 election, for the seat now held by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who successfully ran for re-election.

On May 31, 2006 McFarland's Republican opponent, John Spencer won the endorsement of the state Republican Party organization, with 63 percent of the vote. He did not achieve the threshold of 75 percent needed to prevent McFarland from gaining an automatic position on the primary ballot, and so he and McFarland faced each other in the September 12, 2006, Republican primary, which he won by a vote of approximately 60-40%.
