Pat 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 in March 1985,[1] after he admitted to falsifying letters of support he had cited in the Oregon Voter's Pamphlet,[2][3] and was accused of falsely claiming to have earned a master's degree.[4] He was acquitted of the latter charge, but by then had been recalled by voters, after serving only 67 days in the Legislature.[4] John Minnis was appointed to fill the seat in the House.[4]
