Richard Moya (August 14, 1932 - February 16, 2017) was the first Mexican-American elected to public office in Travis County, Texas, becoming County Commissioner in 1970, having been elected in 1969. Characterized as a "legendary Chicano activist" and a "political trailblazer" by Austin newspapers, he led the way for Latinos to follow him into public office. As a Travis County Commissioner, Moya helped to reform county services and hiring practices, opening doors for minorities. He was instrumental in bringing county government into the modern era. Later Moya served at the state level where he continued his push for better government.
