Uncovered Politics proudly covers Republicans, Democrats and those working outside the major parties with an emphasis on the stories that most other media outlets overlook. The site was founded in May of 2010 by Darcy G. Richardson and Austin F. Cassidy.
DARCY G. RICHARDSON
Darcy G. Richardson is the author of six books covering American political history. A freelance writer and former editor of Consumers Voice, the bi-monthly publication of the Consumers Education & Protective Association (CEPA), he is also the author of A Nation Divided: The 1968 Presidential Campaign, published in 2002. A seventh book, The Spirit of ’76: Eugene McCarthy’s Struggle for Open Politics, will be released shortly. He is also working on a biography of Pennsylvania’s Gifford Pinchot, the nation’s first Chief Forester, environmentalist, and fiercely-independent progressive Republican who twice served as governor of the Keystone State.
Long active in progressive politics, Richardson has rubbed shoulders with some of the best-known political figures of the past three decades. In addition to managing one of the late Minnesota Senator Eugene J. McCarthy’s campaigns and serving as a senior advisor in another, Richardson ran for Pennsylvania Auditor General in 1980 and for the U.S. Senate eight years later on the Philadelphia-based Consumer Party ticket. A resident of Jacksonville, Richardson has been quoted in major publications such as the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer, and has written numerous articles for a wide range of publications. He has also been a guest on several nationally-syndicated radio talk shows, ranging from the progressive “Thom Hartmann Show” to Joseph Farah’s conservative “WorldNetDaily Radioactive” program.
In addition to contributing stories to UncoveredPolitics.com, Richardson is the founder and driving force behind the progressive Battleground Blog. Darcy can be reached via email at Darcy@BattlegroundBlog.com.
