Prior to her election to the legislature, Brophy McGee served nearly a decade as a school board member and in numerous elected, appointed and volunteer capacities. She continues her community-based volunteer activities in addition to her legislative duties.

She is the mother of three sons. Her husband, Bob McGee, a community banker, is former President and CEO and now Special Advisor to the Board of Southwestern Business Financing Corporation, a certified development company dedicated to creating jobs and growing small business throughout the state.
