Richardson

LOUISBURG, NC – Dr. Bobbie Richardson’s father raised her to be an avid voter and a Democrat; his vision was that the Democratic Party would provide better educational access and economic opportunities for minorities. Now she is vying for the position that will allow her to facilitate those opportunities and more, as she is a candidate for the Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party.

Richardson has dedicated her life to education. She is a first-generation graduate of North Carolina College (now NCCU),  earning her undergraduate and master’s degrees. Richardson obtained her doctorate in educational leadership from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Having worked in every level of the educational system in North Carolina for 35 years, she started her political career in 2013.

A native of Franklin County, Richardson is an alumnus of the then-still-segregated Perry High School. She first started in politics working on various campaigns in the Durham (NC) area. But, then moved back to Franklin County, attended a Democratic Party meeting, and at that meeting, there was an announcement made that there was no candidate for the Franklin County Board of Education. Richardson believed this was her opportunity to serve her community.

After serving as a member of the Franklin County School Board, Richardson went on to represent the people of House District 7 (which consists of portions of Franklin and Nash Counties). She was appointed in January 2013 and won election in Nov. 2014 and 2016 for additional two-year terms in the NC General Assembly. She has served as secretary of the House Democratic Caucus and was elected a House Democratic Whip by the caucus. Richardson has sponsored various bills – from one adding a hearing-impaired symbol on driver’s licenses, improving the educational system, to building a now thriving event center in the Rocky Mount area.

While being active in organizations such as Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the Lake Gaston Area Chapter of The Links, Inc.,  the Moles of Roanoke Rapids, the Board of Trustees for Louisburg College, as well as a Trustee of Gillfield Missionary Baptist Church, she still works diligently in politics. After serving for six years as a legislator in North Carolina General Assembly, Richardson gets a call about running for the First Vice-Chair of the Democratic Party.

“I said okay because I’ve learned that when the door opens you can not hesitate to walk in,” said Richardson. Since serving in that position for two years, she now is running for the Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party.

As for her plans, if she gets elected, Richardson hopes to continue to build adequate resources and volunteers to elect more Democrats as well as show what the Democratic Party has done for the country as a whole, such as Roosevelt’s New Deal. More specifically, she aspires to collaborate with all 100 counties along with adding a more diverse voice regarding race and gender by continuing the Women of Color Conference, an event where women of color come together and educate each other on the importance of voting.

A chair of NCDP, Richardson wants to develop avenues to recruit more women of color into politics.

She also hopes to incorporate “Chop It Up”, a federal program that brings men of color together to discuss politics. As for a woman of color herself, she wants to develop avenues to recruit women of color into politics. “When we can put people there that understand your walk and talk, we get voices that are going to speak up for women’s rights and minorities,” said Richardson.

A virtual 2021 North Carolina Democratic Party Winter SEC Meeting will take place Saturday, Feb. 27th to officially vote on whether Richardson will take the position of Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party. She has been very busy making phone calls, sending out emails, and talking to endless amounts of people to make sure everyone knows she would truly value her vote.
