NYT Reports Heather Honey and Marci McCarthy in DHS Election-Related Roles

The New York Times reported on October 22, 2025 that the Trump administration had placed people who promoted false claims about the 2020 election in Department of Homeland Security positions, naming Heather Honey, a prominent election-denial activist appointed as DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary for Election Integrity, and Marci McCarthy, whom CISA’s leadership page lists as Director of Public Affairs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The Times is paywalled and its text was not read in full for this entry; Honey’s role and background are documented in honey-heather (ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer records, the Philadelphia Inquirer and Louisiana Illuminator, August 2025). What McCarthy did or said about the 2020 election is not established here.
