Richard Walker Mallary (February 21, 1929 – September 27, 2011) was a U.S. Representative from Vermont.
Mallary was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on February 21, 1929. He was educated at Bradford Academy in Bradford, Vermont, and received an A.B. degree from Dartmouth College in 1949.
Mallary operated a dairy farm in Fairlee, Vermont from 1950 to 1970, where he was subsequently elected chairman of the Fairlee Board of Selectmen, serving from 1951 to 1953. He served as a member of the Vermont House of Representatives from 1961 to 1969, serving as chairman of the appropriations committee and holding the position of Speaker from 1965 to 1969. In the House Mallary was recognized as one of the "Young Turks," the group of legislators who crossed party lines to advocate for progressive policies and the modernizing of Vermont's state government.
He was Trustee and treasurer of Vermont State Colleges from 1962 to 1965. Mallary served as chairman of the Vermont Legislative Council from 1965 to 1967, and as a delegate to the 1968 Republican National Convention which nominated Richard M. Nixon for President. He served as vice chairman of the Vermont Governor's Committee on Administrative Coordination in 1969.
He was a member of the Vermont State Senate from 1969 to 1971. Mallary served as Vermont Secretary of Administration in 1971, in the cabinet of Governor Deane C. Davis.
