Meet Keith

Who is Keith Leitz?

I am a second-generation Central Oregonian. I graduated from Bend High School and married my high school sweetheart the following day.

After high school, I served for 13 years in the Air Force. I returned to Oregon to continue my public service as the County Counsel for Coos County. For the last eight years, I have been representing my community as the Redmond City Attorney.

I spend my free time enjoying life with my older children and loving on my 2 grandchildren that my wife and I adopted.
