About Congressman McNerney

Congressman Jerry McNerney was sworn into office on January 4, 2007. He is proud to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives representing California’s 11th District, which includes parts of San Joaquin County in the Central Valley as well as parts of Contra Costa, Alameda and Santa Clara Counties in the Bay Area.

McNerney was inspired to run for Congress by his son Michael, who in response to the attacks of September 11, sought and received a commission in the Air Force. Michael suggested that his Dad serve his country by running for Congress. With a deep sense of duty and his family’s support, McNerney began his journey to Congress.

Congressman McNerney is honored to serve on the Energy and Commerce Committee as a member of both the Energy and the Environment subcommittee and the Communications, Technology, and the Internet subcommittee. McNerney is also privileged to serve on the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and as a member of the Health subcommittee.

McNerney, who has his PhD in mathematics, served several years as an engineering contractor to Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico. In 1990 McNerney moved with his family to California, accepting a senior engineering position with US Windpower, Kenetech. McNerney later began working as an energy consultant for PG&E, FloWind, the Electric Power Research Institute, and other utility companies. Prior to his election to Congress, he formed a start-up company to manufacture wind turbines. During his career in wind energy, McNerney’s work contributed to saving the equivalent of approximately 30 million barrels of oil, or 8.3 million tons of carbon dioxide.

McNerney and Mary, his wife of 30 years, live and raised their children in Pleasanton, California. Their oldest son, Michael, a reserve officer in the US Air Force is now studying law at American University in Washington, DC. Daughter Windy graduated from Notre Dame with an advanced degree in neuroscience, and youngest son, Greg, is studying bio-physics at UC Davis.
