Dennis Rodoni was raised in Point Reyes Station and his family history goes back to the 1860s. His mother’s side of the family was one of a number of Swiss-Italian dairy ranching families that directly contributed to the agrarian culture of West Marin that still survives today.
It is these roots that prompted Dennis to become politically active over 25 years ago with the dedication to preserving Marin’s environment, agricultural businesses, villages, and open space. Prior to serving as Supervisor, Dennis served as a board member on the North Marin Water District for 21 years and he also participated in several nonprofit and environmental boards.
In March 2020, Dennis was re-elected as Supervisor for Marin’s District Four. This district includes Homestead Valley, Corte Madera, Greenbrae Boardwalk, San Quentin Village, East San Rafael, West Marin, West Novato, and a small portion of Larkspur. During his time in office, Dennis has been dedicated to resolving a wide-range of District Four’s unique challenges due to its geographic and cultural diversity. From overcrowding because of tourism, traffic on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, to rent affordability; these challenges are just some of the issues that require serious scrutiny and problem-solving. His term runs through 2024.
Dennis attended Chico State University, where in 1975 he received a Bachelor’s Degree with honors in Economics. Dennis spent his early professional years as a high school teacher, which included a three-year stint teaching in Australia where he met his then future wife, Judy. Dennis lives in Olema with Judy, across the street from the farm house where his mother was born. Together, Dennis and Judy ran a successful construction company for 35 years while raising two daughters. They are now proud grandparents to two grandchildren and two grand dogs.
