New DeLay spokesman at ease in a battle zone  view story

Kevin Madden grew up in Yonkers, N.Y., with an auto mechanic father who read three newspapers every Sunday and passed along a powerful addiction to news and politics to his eager oldest son.
Fresh out of college, the young Madden broke into politics working for a Republican mayor in the heavily Democratic city north of New York City. He served as a spokesman for a New York congressman amid the devastation of the Sept. 11 attacks, and then for the Bush-Cheney campaign in some of the fiercest battleground states of the 2004 election.
Now Madden, 33, is in a new war zone: House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's press shop, where, as the recently hired communications director, he will take the flak for the high-profile, polarizing Sugar Land Republican who is nearly always in the crossfire.
