The Speaker of the Cascadia House of Representatives, commonly known as the Speaker of the House, is the presiding officer of the Cascadia House of Representatives. The office was originally established in December 2022 by an amendment to the Provisional Constitution of Cascadia, the then-constitution of Cascadia. The speaker is the political and parliamentary leader of the House and is simultaneously its presiding officer and the institution's administrative head. As the presiding officer of the unicameral chamber of the Legislature, the Speaker is the highest-ranking officer and head of the legislative branch. Speakers also perform various other administrative and procedural functions.
The Constitution does not explicitly require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been. The Speaker is second in the Cascadian presidential line of succession, after the Vice President and ahead of the Secretary of State.
The current House Speaker is MasterEWild, elected from the Cascadia At-Large constituency. The 24th person to serve as speaker, he was elected on March 21, 2026 to head the 44th and final Legislature.
List of speakers
Before the ratification of a constitutional amendment at the December 2022 general election, the vice president of Cascadia served the dual role of President of the Legislature, as designated by the Provisional Constitution. Two Vice Presidents presided over the Legislature of Cascadia as its president before the creation of the independent post of Speaker.
