Reilly Parisot is a Program Officer for Democracy Programs at the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center, where he works to strengthen civic engagement and foster meaningful dialogue across Montana. His focus is on developing programs that encourage participation in democracy, bridge divides, and support stronger, more connected communities. 

With experience spanning the public, private, and political sectors, Reilly brings a well-rounded perspective to civic engagement. He has worked in state government, supported public affairs initiatives, and gained valuable insights from the private sector. He also has international experience from his time at the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana, Mexico as well as studying abroad at the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara. This diverse background gives him a unique ability to create common ground among different stakeholders while implementing the Center’s democracy-focused initiatives. He holds a B.A. in Political Science – International Relations from Montana State University. 

A Montana native, Reilly spends as much time as possible outdoors—skiing, golfing, fly fishing, and enjoying the state’s landscapes. 

He is excited to be part of the Mansfield Center’s work in strengthening democracy and looks forward to collaborating with communities across Montana.
