Sen. Mike McGuire and his wife, Erika, welcomed their first child over the weekend.
Connor Michael McGuire was born at 5:16 a.m. Sunday. He weighed 8 pounds, 10 ounces.
“He’s healthy, happy and nursing like a champ,” his proud dad reported on Facebook.
McGuire said his wife was doing well, too, although they were, understandably, “a bit sleep deprived.”
In addition to the new baby, the McGuire family also includes Gertrude the pug.
McGuire, 41, has represented the Second Senate District – which includes Lake, Del Norte, Humboldt, Marin, Mendocino, Sonoma and Trinity counties – since 2014.
During that time, he’s championed Lake County through multiple disasters, in particular, fires and floods, and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic.
