When asked about why she helped start a League in our area, Richardson said that she first got to know the League in Memphis, TN, where she lived before returning to her family roots in Texas. “I saw how the League makes government more accessible to the people – providing nonpartisan information on candidates, voting and how things work in ways that make it easier for people to fully participate in the decisions that affect them,” said Richardson. “I believe that the League provides an important service to the community – helping to bridge the information gap between government and voters. When I saw that our rural Texas area did not have a League, I decided to try to get one started so that local citizens could have access to the services that Leagues provide.
