Kathleen Jackson Dillingham is an American politician from Maine. A Republican, Dillingham has been a member of the Maine House of Representatives since her election in 2014. While she was re-elected in November 2018, the Maine Republicans drastically reduced their numbers in the state legislature. She was subsequently chosen as Minority Leader by her colleagues. She represents the towns of Mechanic Falls, Otisfield, and Oxford. She previously served on the MSAD 17 School Board.
Her father is Euro-American and her mother is Puerto Rican, making her "the first Hispanic Republican Legislative Leader in Maine."[1]
