Oral History Number: 036-009 Interviewee: Daniel Kemmis Interviewer: Claire Rhein Date of Interview: August 5,1981 Project: Daniel Kemmis Interviews Oral History Project Claire Rhein: This is Claire Rhein, and I'm talking with Daniel Kemmis. Picking up from our last conversation, you said you're looking at maybe one more session in the Montana legislature. You're aware, of course, that your name has been mentioned as a possible candidate for major in Missoula? Daniel Kemmis: Well, I spent some time after the session, in fact at the end of the session, considering very seriously the possibility of running for mayor and I then let that word be put out in the press in Missoula in May of this year. I talked to a lot of people and I did a lot of serious thinking about it. It seemed like a lot longer but I think that I actually played with the idea seriously for about a month and then announced that I was not going to do it. Ever since that time the issue has really been closed. That was an interesting kind of experience though, thinking about that. I think there are very few people who understand at all why I even considered doing it. CR: I'd like to know.

Kettering, is a nonprofit operating foundation that does not make grants but engages in joint research with others. Kettering’s primary research question is, what does it take to make democracy work as it should? Kettering’s research is conducted from the perspective of citizens and focuses on what people can do collectively to address problems affecting their lives, their communities, and their nation. More information may be found on www.kettering.org. The interpretations and conclusions contained in this publication, unless expressly stated to the contrary, represent the views of the authors and not necessarily those of the Kettering Foundation, its directors, or its officers. Acknowledgments The authors wish to thank the Kettering Foundation for collaborating in both the writing and publication of this monograph. Robert Kingston’s editorial suggestions were particularly helpful. We have also received very substantial encouragement, advice, and assistance from Wendy Willis and Greg Wolf of the Policy Consensus Initiative and the National Policy Consensus Center. Drafts of this paper were presented to members of the University Network for Collaborative Governance and the Buechner Institute for Governance at the University of Colorado-Denver.

DK: Well, I was born on December 5,1945, in Fairview, Montana. BB: And what were the dates in which you served in the legislature? DK: I served there in '75 and '76, and then took a term off, and served again from '79 to '84. BB: And you were speaker of the House of Representatives in the '83 session? DK: Yes, that's right, and I was minority leader in the '81 session. BB: Now not everybody who serves in the state legislature is motivated to run for public office, so what caused you to become interested in public service? Was there an experience or a person or something that may have pointed you in the direction of public service? DK: Well, there was.
