Jeff Reardon calls it quits after decade in Oregon state House

Portland Democrat Jeff Reardon plans to end his legislative career next year after a decade in the Oregon House.

Reardon, elected in 2012, said he plans to focus on his three grandchildren, travel and public service in his community after he finishes his term at the end of next year.

“Serving the people of District 48 has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Reardon said in a press release. “This opportunity has allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined as I worked to meet the needs of my constituents, but the work doesn’t end with me.”

Reardon is a retired high school teacher who also worked as a technical writer for Beaverton-based Tektronix and served in the Navy from 1966-70.
