Richard L. Hanna Biography

Richard L. Hanna is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 25, 1951 in Utica, New York, United States. Richard Louis Hanna, born January 25, 1951 and died March 15, 2020 was an American politician. He served as a U.S. Rep from New York between 2011 and 2017. His congressional district was the 24th in his two first years of Congress. It has been the 22nd since 2013.

Hanna was a member both of the conservative Republican Study Committee, and the centrist Republican Main Street Partnership. He was also a member the LGBT Equality Caucus. U.S. U.S. Congressman Hanna has voiced his opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. He was one of six House Republicans who didn’t sign Grover Norquist’s “Taxpayer Protection Pledge,” a document that a spokesperson explained to Hanna that “Rep. Hanna will be focusing on the promises he made to his wife, the Constitution of the United States, and the people of upstate New York.”

At a rally in support of the Equal Rights Amendment in March 2012, Hanna urged women to donate to Democratic candidates, saying: “I think these are very precarious times for women, it seems. So many of your rights are under assault… Contribute your money to people who speak out on your behalf, because the other side — my side — has a lot of it.”

In his 2012 campaign for re-election against Democrat Dan Lamb, television stations WUTR in Utica and WSYR in Syracuse announced they would jointly air a debate between Hanna and Lamb. Hanna declined to participate, citing another scheduled televised debate and five that would not be televised. The stations said that if Hanna did not appear, they would air a 30-minute question-and- answer session with Lamb. According to Steve Merren, the vice president and general manager of WUTR’s parent company, Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Hanna then contacted Merren. In an email to staff, Merren stated, “He indicated to me that we would not be considered for his ad dollars and our level of cooperation in the future could be affected.” Merren then directed that WUTR not go ahead with the broadcast. Both Merren and a Hanna spokeswoman denied that threats had been made. After the inadvertent disclosure of the internal email, Merren told the press that Hanna “did not say he would pull his ad dollars.” The Hanna campaign said that his conversation with Merren had been “nothing more than a courtesy call”. The Lamb campaign said that Hanna was “using his money to influence the journalistic decisions of a local news agency.”

Hanna wrote an opinion piece in February 2011 opposing the USA PATRIOT Act extension. The Syracuse Post-Standard published Hanna’s piece. Later, Hanna was reprimanded by editors for copying content from Julian Sanchez of Cato Institute in an editorial. Sanchez stated that Hanna had permission to use the content. However, he was not mentioned in the article.
