[[Image:thomas_f_mckayThomas_F_Mckay.jpg|right]]Thomas F. McKay was the President of the St. Mary's Board of County Commissioners from 2002 through November 2006. Mr. McKay did not run for re-election as Commissioner President in 2006 so that he could run for Maryland State Senator of District 29 against long-time incumbent [[Roy P. Dyson]] (D).
The following information is from McKaysMcKay's biography that appeared on the St. Mary's County website during his tenure as Commissioner President:
"A St. Mary’s County native, Mr. McKay was born in [[Leonardtown, Maryland]], and raised by his parents Manning and Marilyn McKay on the family farm in Hollywood, along with his three brothers and four sisters. He attended Ryken High School from 1970-1974 before earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Maryland in 1979.
"Mr. McKay is the father of two children, Eric, a recent graduate of Leonardtown High School, and Jackie, who attends [[St. Mary’s Ryken High School]]. They live in Hollywood and attend church at St. John’s Catholic Church."
Mr. McKay met with negative press in April 2006 when his son Eric was arrested for counterfeiting U.S. Currency. According to a statement received from the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office, "Suspect [Eric] McKay, assisted by a codefendant, utilized a computer and color printer to reproduce United States Currency."
