Richard Corcoran (born March 16, 1965) is a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing the 37th District, which includes central Pasco County, since 2012, previously representing the 45th District from 2010 to 2012.
History
Corcoran moved to the state of Florida in 1976 and attended St. Leo College, where he graduated in 1989, and Regent University, where he received his Juris Doctor in 1996. Following graduation, he served in the United States Naval Reserves to pay for his education, serving for six years. He is married to his wife, Anne, and they have six children. They currently reside in Land O’ Lakes, Florida.
Florida House of Representatives
When incumbent State Representative Tom Anderson was unable to seek re-election due to term limits, Corcoran ran to succeed him in the 45th District, which included parts of southern Pasco County and northern Pinellas County. Following his election, Corcoran received enough votes to serve as the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives for the 2016-2018 legislative session, assuming that he continues to win re-election.
When the state legislative districts were redrawn in 2012, Corcoran was drawn into the 37th District, which included some of the areas in Pasco County that he represented in the 45th District. Corcoran faced a challenge from Strother Hammond in the Republican primary. He was endorsed for re-election by the Tampa Tribune, which praised him for his efforts to lower taxes, reduce business regulations, and provide consumers with health care choices, calling him out for "working with nearly two dozen other representatives to mend the broken process in Tallahassee, a worthwhile effort." In 2014, Corcoran was re-elected to his third term without any opposition.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
