Pat Gillis
Patrick J. Gillis is a Republican politician in the U.S. state of Oregon. He was a member of the Oregon House of Representatives until he was recalled by voters on March 26, 1985,[1][2] after he admitted to falsifying letters of support he had cited in the Oregon Voter's Pamphlet,[3][4] and was accused of falsely claiming to have earned a master's degree.[5] He was acquitted of the latter charge, but by then had been recalled by voters, after serving only 67 days in the Legislature.[5] John Minnis was appointed to fill the seat in the House.[5]
