Governor Bill Richardson

Bill Richardson served in Congress for 15 years and helped pass the economic plan that created millions of jobs and led to the first balanced budget in 30 years.

As Secretary of Energy and Governor of New Mexico, he implemented tough efficiency standards to save energy and move toward renewable resources.

Richardson negotiated the release of hostages, American servicemen and political prisoners in North Korea, Iraq, and Cuba. Because of this diplomatic work, he was nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize and served as Ambassador to the UN.

Richardson has been married to his high school sweetheart, Barbara, for 35 years.

Governor Richardson's Message to Texas Democrats

It�s been an honor to get to know so many great Texas Democrats during this campaign and in my time as Governor of New Mexico. You know what I�ve done and where I stand. When I�m President, we�re going to get all of our troops out of Iraq�all of them. Our kids in Iraq have become targets, and we can begin the hard diplomatic work of reconciliation only once we�ve gotten all of them out. I have a plan to get quality, affordable healthcare to every American without creating new taxes or bureaucracies. We�re going to build a strong economy for all Americans. And we�re going to become the world�s leader in renewable energy.

Some candidates in this race say that they represent change. Others say that they have experience. With me, you get both�I�m a two-for-one deal.

I�ve shown you what I can do as Governor of New Mexico�let me know show you what we can do together, when I�m President.

News from the Richardson Campaign

Why Texas Democrats are Supporting Governor Richardson

"U.S. foreign relations are in sad shape and Bill Richardson would bring knowledge and experience that have been lacking under the current Republican administration. He also brings some refreshing ideas for health care reform and funding, as well as a genuine approach to improving public education. He shares many of our Texas Democratic values."

Dan in Joaquin

"Governor Richardson has always been friendly to labor, and being a retired Steel Worker I want someone that will care for the working men and women of this country."

Ramon in Houston

"Rght now I like his conviction to get troops out of Iraq, make health care accessible to all, and put the US out in front with dedication to use renewable energy. He has an impressive record in diplomatic relations which the US needs more than ever right now."

Nancy in Austin

"I am from New Mexico and I saw first hand how Gov. Richardson turned the state around. New Mexico went from dead last in so many important categories such as Education and Healthcare, to the top third of the country."

Mary in Crowley
