Richardson served as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma from 1981 to 1984 and was the Republican nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives in Oklahoma's Second Congressional District in 1978 and 1980, both times losing to Mike Synar. In 2002, Richardson ran for governor of Oklahoma as an Independent candidate. He came in third behind the Democratic candidate, Brad Henry, and the Republican candidate, former Congressman Steve Largent. Richardson's run for governor was notable as Henry's margin of victory over Largent was so small.
