kathryn lyons Managing Editor, FamousDC FamousDC, an online magazine of sorts that creates both written and video content about the people and things that make Washington special, has been earning more followers thanks to Lyons, 29, and her quirky sense of humor. She lists her professional highlights as national TV appearances (she’s a regular on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight), emceeing a Congressional brew competition and moderating FamousDC luncheons on Capitol Hill. FUN FACT: Spanish was her first language (her mother is from Cuba).
