Dorothy Ann Richards (née Willis; September 1, 1933 – September 13, 2006) was an American politician who served as the 45th Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995. A Democrat, she first came to national attention as the Texas State Treasurer, when she gave the keynote address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Richards was the second female governor of Texas (the first being Miriam A. Ferguson), and was frequently noted in the media for her outspoken feminism and her one-liners.
Born in McLennan County, Texas, Richards became a schoolteacher after graduating from Baylor University. She won election to the Travis County Commissioners' Court in 1976, and took office as Texas State Treasurer in 1983. She delivered a nominating speech for Walter Mondale at the 1984 Democratic National Convention, and the keynote address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention.
Richards won the 1990 Texas gubernatorial election, defeating Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox in a Democratic primary run-off election and businessman Clayton Williams in the general election. She was defeated in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election by George W. Bush. She remained active in public life until her death in 2006.
As of 2024, Richards remains the most recent Democrat, and the most recent woman, to serve as Governor of Texas.

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BROWSING!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
He Leadeth Me
In pastures green?
Not always;
sometimes He
who knoweth best,
in kindness leadeth me
In many ways where
heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine
warm and soft and bright...
Out of the sunshine
into the darkest night,
I oft would faint
with sorrow and affright,
Only for this...I
know He holds my hand;
so whether in the
green or desert land
I trust although I
may not understand.
And by still
waters?
No, not always so;
Ofttimes the
heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul
the waters and billows go.
But when the storms
beat loudest and I cry
aloud for help, the
Master standeth by
And whispers to my
soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest
wild I hear Him say,
"Beyond this
darkness lies a perfect day.
In every path
of thine I lead the way."
So whether on the
hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the
sunless valleys where
The
shadows lie...what matters? He is there.
And more than this,
where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no
helpless broken reed,
But His own hand,
sufficient for my need.
So where He leads
me, I can safely go,
And in the blest
hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom,
He hath led me so.
