Tremendously sad news
White House tech advisor Jake Brewer, 34, the husband of conservative pundit Mary Katherine Ham, has been killed in a bicycle accident during a charity bike ride and fundraiser to raise money for fighting cancer.
The couple has a young child and another on the way.
I didn’t know Brewer, but Mary Katherine Ham is well-known, well-loved, and well-respected in the conservative community. I met her at a PJ function quite a few years ago and was impressed with her graceful, friendly nature and sharp intelligence. She has published this statement and tribute to her husband’s life and her love for him.
RIP.
If you’re the praying sort please pray for the entire family.
Very sad news. Guy Benson has started a GoFundMe account for her children.
Heartbreaking. She’s due with her second baby this December.

I am of that sort, and I have.
When I get paid this week, I’ll donate, too.
They are not just smart in politics, but really nice people, too. The whole world is poorer for his loss.
Perhaps a more important story on the cancer front today:

One death, like Brewer’s, is a tragedy; multiple deaths are a statistic.
Back when I was living in the Dee Cee area, I was very happy to be listening to Mary Katherine Ham on my car radio (WMAL) as I commuted from Maryland into work in Virginia. She was on-air every weekday morning for about a year.
I’m very sorry this happened to her and her young family.
If you’re interested in hearing a very recent long-form interview with her, you can find it at the Alison Rosen podcast from a few weeks ago. Light-hearted, talks about her pregnancy and life more than any political topic.
Such a loss. I like Ham and have seen her on Fox and read her commentary often. This is too sad. I guess you never know… RIP – and may his family find comfort and strength.
