Richards transformed the state government to resemble the diverse population of Texas, appointing a record number of women, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ community members to Texas boards and state agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGovernor Richards was known as much for her humor as for her politics. Her witty one-liners, shrewdly delivered with a thick Waco accent, could bring down the house. Add in her striking appearance--big white hair and turquoise eyes--and her presence left an indelible impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a thoughtful foreword by award-winning novelist Sarah Bird, \u003ci\u003eThe One Ann Only\u003c\/i\u003e presents Ann's famous witticisms alongside striking images throughout her life and political career by Texas photographers.
