Hubert Leon "Bill" Richardson (December 28, 1927 – January 13, 2020) was an American gun rights activist and former politician who founded Gun Owners of America (GOA) in 1976 and served as a California state senator from 1966 to 1989.
Early life and education
Richardson was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1927 and served in the United States Navy in World War II.[1][2] He attended Olympic College and the Cornish Conservatory, both in Seattle, Washington.[3]
Career
Richardson's political career began as a member of the John Birch Society.[4][5][6] He was elected to the California State Senate in 1966.
During his tenure in the State Senate, Richardson served as the Republican Caucus Chair for several of these years.[2] He was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for the United States Senate in 1974, having been defeated by incumbent Alan Cranston. He ran for Congress in 1962, and again in 1992, losing to Democrat Vic Fazio.[7]
Richardson was credited with electing seven members of the California senate between 1978 and 1980. He led a group of organizations, including Gun Owners of America, that spent up to $1 million to elect conservative candidates.[8]
Richardson was the author of Confrontational Politics, a book that has served as a guide for right-wing political figures, activists, and organizations.[9]
