David Richardson for Florida State Representative

Former State Representative David Richardson made history in Florida when he became the first openly gay person to win a seat in the Florida Legislature.

While serving in the state legislature, Richardson was a voice for the LGBT community, working tirelessly to end discrimination and promoting LGBT rights and equality. His legislative accomplishments are expansive and include enacting rule changes within both the Department of Children and Families and the Guardian Ad Litem programs to provide protections to LGBT children in Foster Care and under the care of the state of Florida.

Richardson is also known for his deep-rooted commitment to government accountability and transparency and put his forensic auditing skills to work as he rooted out challenges in the Department of Corrections. 

Today, Richardson has filed candidacy paperwork to return to the Florida House for District 106.
