Cantor, the second of three children, was born in Richmond, Virginia, the son of Mary Lee (née Hudes), a schoolteacher, and Eddie Cantor, who owned a real estate firm. His paternal family immigrated from Eastern Europe in the early 1900s and his maternal grandfather was born in Romania. His father was the state treasurer for Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign. Cantor was raised in Conservative Judaism.Kantor is the House Majority Leader in the US House of Representatives, making him, "the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress in its history."
We met Kantor and his wife at a friend's wedding September 3, 2012 and we chatted with them.
Kantor is in the news because he received information about the Petraeus affair several weeks before it was revealed in the press.
