A member of the Democratic Party, John Charles Carney Jr. is an American politician serving as the 74th governor of Delaware since 2017. Carney served as the U.S. representative for Delaware’s at-large congressional district from 2011 to 2017 and as the 24th lieutenant governor of Delaware from 2001 to 2009.

Meet John Carney’s (governor) children Sam Carney and Jimmy Carney

Governor John Carney and his wife Tracey Quillen Carney have two young children. The two married in 1993, and at the end of the millennium, Mr. Carney, then the Delaware secretary of finance, decided to launch a bid for office.

Although the couple had two young children at the time, Mrs. Carney said she didn’t need much convincing to get behind her husband’s bid.

Sam Carney graduated from Clemson this spring, and Jimmy Carney is a junior at Tufts University,  with eyes toward their own lives and activities, and that enables them to enjoy Gov. Carney’s career more than when they were kids, Mrs. Carney said.
