Our Speaker is Dennis Richardson, State Representative: Dennis’ decision to enter politics came after he and Cathy decided to pattern their lives after Benjamin Franklin, who believed a person’s first 50 years of life should be spent learning, earning and raising a family, and their last 50 years should be dedicated to giving back to society in the form of public service. To that end, Dennis serves as Oregon State Representative for District 4.
During his first four terms in the Oregon House of Representatives, Dennis has been honored to serve both in policy and leadership positions. In the Legislature he has gained broad-based experience in such areas as budgeting, land-use and health care reform. In 2005 Dennis Chaired Oregon’s Joint House/Senate Ways & Means Subcommittee on Human Services and was elected Speaker Pro Tempore by unanimous vote of his peers in the Oregon House.
Dennis Richardson has owned and managed a small town law firm in Central Point, Oregon since 1979.
He and Cathy, his wife of 36 years, have eight daughters, one son, and 27 grandchildren.
While rearing their large family, Dennis volunteered in various positions for the Boy Scouts of America, and currently serves on the Boy Scouts Executive Committee. He has served on the Central Point City Council, Chaired the Central Point School District Budget Committee, and coached U-12 and U-14 girls’ soccer teams.
During the Vietnam War, Dennis served as an Army helicopter pilot. More recently, Dennis helped develop the Oregon Fallen War Heroes Memorial located in Central Point’s new, Don Jones Memorial Park, next to the Central Point Cemetery on Hamrick Road.
Dennis a great speaker—See you there, John Bell, Chair
