RFD NEWS Correspondent

RFD NEWS Correspondent Frank McCaffrey covers news from Texas in the US-Mexico border region. He has provided in-depth coverage of immigration, the 2021 Texas freeze, the arrival of the New World screwworm, and Mexico’s water debt owed under a 1944 treaty.

Frank has worked as an anchor and reporter at two stations in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. His broadcast journalism career has also taken him to Upstate New York and Montana. Prior to that, he spent years working as a journalist with Fox News Channel.

He considers RFD-TV to be the best station he has ever worked with and loves interacting with the team! He grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, where he learned about policy and — well — traffic. He has a BA in communications/journalism from Loyola University Maryland and a master’s in government/political science from Johns Hopkins University.

McCaffrey currently resides in Harlingen, Texas, with his lovely wife, “Liss,” and son Louis. By all accounts, his family spends way too much time on the beach!
