Dennis O. Cawthorne
Dennis Cawthorne was born in Manistee and is a graduate of Manistee High School, Albion College, and Harvard Law School. When Mr. Cawthorne finished Harvard Law School, he returned to Manistee and at age 26 was elected to the Michigan State House of Representatives, defeating a Democratic incumbent.
Mr. Cawthorne was selected by his colleagues to be the Republican Leader of the House during his final four years in the legislature. At the time, the Detroit News editorialized, “In the House of Representatives, one name consistently made every newsman’s list of quality legislators. He is Dennis Cawthorne, a Republican from Manistee.”
During Mr. Cawthorne’s time in the legislature, he was chairman of the 1975 Republican state convention and a delegate to the 1976 Republican national convention, and was chosen as One of the Five Outstanding Young Men of Michigan. Mr. Cawthorne was also chosen by the U.S. State Department to be a U.S. delegate to international conferences in Beijing, China, and Brussels, Belgium. Mr. Cawthorne later was a U.S. delegate to an international law conference held inside the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia.
After Mr. Cawthorne left the legislature in 1978, he entered the full-time practice of law, specializing in governmental affairs. In 1999, Mr. Cawthorne was joined in his firm by Frank J. Kelley, Democrat, the longest consecutive-serving state attorney general in U.S. history. In 1990, Gov. John Engler appointed Mr. Cawthorne member and chairman of the Mackinac Island State Park Commission which governs 83% of Mackinac Island. He served as member for 22 years, and chairman for 19 of those years, making him by far the longest-serving chairman in the 126 year history of the Commission.
Mr. Cawthorne is a world traveler and has visited 70 countries and every continent except Antarctica. He has been married to his wife Cynthia for over 45 years and has two sons and five grandchildren.
