Zach McCarthy, Web News
The news was a big part of Zach McCarthy’s life, and as he enters his senior
year, it still is. Growing up, the news was always playing in the background, and his
older brother would give him updates. But his main goal is to change the community in a
positive way. Young Democrats, one of his multiple extracurricular activities, proves his
love for politics. “I wanted to get into local politics because that is where the the most
change happens” McCarthy said. Cold calling, a big part of Young Democrats, is when
they call random numbers and convince them to change their vote. Through this he has
learned that “people are people.” McCarthy also works with people well, children in
his other extracurriculars. McCarthy writes for a blog for the library Makerspace
informing families what is going on. He also works with middle and high schoolers when
tutoring social studies and English.
