Gregory Mecher, the husband of White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki, began working in politics as a college student.
Gregory Mecher rose to prominence after his wife, Psaki, served as the Obama administration’s communications director. She is now President Joe Biden’s press secretary, and she is back in the White House.
Mecher and Psaki met for the first time in 2006 while working for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. They have been married for over a decade and have two children together.
The work of Gregory Mecher Mecher grew up in Southern Ohio and was born on September 30, 1976. He earned his bachelor’s degree in communications and television production from Northern Kentucky University in 1999.
According to Heavy, he began his political career as a student representative to the Board of Regents during his college years, which led to an internship with Kentucky Congressman Ken Lucas.
Mecher stated that his internship inspired him to pursue a career in politics, and he hasn’t looked back since. When asked whether he had any advise for prospective NKU students, he suggested that they never shy away from making sacrifices because the effort put in increases the satisfaction of the accomplishment.
According to an unnamed source, Mecher has a net worth of $900,000 and a fortune in real estate.
Gregory Mecher and his wife met as a result of their shared political interests
Mecher worked as a chief of staff for Congressman Steve Driehaus of Ohio and Rep. Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts while pursuing his career in Washington, DC. According to The Washington Post, Psaki offered Mecher incorrect directions to a political event in 2006 during a phone chat. Instead of being furious, Mecher forgiven Psaki because he considered her appealing.
Mecher was initially afraid to ask Psaki out, but he eventually summoned the guts and sent her a letter proposing a date. Fortunately, she consented, and in September 2006, the two went on a dinner date.
“Years later, and after being married to her, I can state that instructions are not one of my wife’s strong suits. By the time I arrived, I had no idea who this individual was.” Following the 2008 election, Mecher and Psaki moved in together, and Mecher proposed to his then-girlfriend a few months later. Two years later, on May 8, 2010, at the Woodlawn Farm in Ridge, Maryland, they married.
Mecher was the chief of staff for Congressman Steve Driehaus of Ohio when he married Psaki. Driehaus served in the Ohio House of Representatives for one term, from 2009 to 2011.
They’re Raising Their Children at a Place Other Than the White House
While Mecher and their two children have little to no social media presence, Psaki makes sure to tweet about them on occasion. “Mom of two humans under the age of five,” her Twitter bio states.
After leaving Washington, D.C. in 2013, the couple bought a three-bedroom townhouse in Virginia and stayed there until March 2019, when they finally moved out.
