A resident of Bountiful for more than 20 years, Richard’s community involvement has given him the experience of working with incredible people from the South Davis area. As a three-time community council member and a two-time PTA board member, Richard understands the problems in education. In addition, he also enjoys coaching youth sports as a coach in Jr. Jazz and Mueller Park baseball.

In addition, Richard has been chairman of the Davis County Democratic Party for the last six years and has been a political columnist for The Clipper for almost three years.

As Chair of local Democrats, Richard has encouraged everyone to be involved in the Party and to donate, at least once a month, to the local food banks. (Over the past few years, the Bountiful Food Pantry has received over 2,000 lbs of food.)

Richard is married to Carol Watson, a high school teacher, and they have two sons, Andy and Bret
