Richard Peña Raymond (born October 27, 1960) is a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 42, which encompasses western Webb County and includes most of the city of Laredo. He is vice-chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations and also sits on the Border Affairs and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.
Raymond was born Richard Edward Raymond to Gabriel Charles Raymond, Sr. (1936-1998), and the former Evelia Pena (born 1935) in Alice, the county seat of Jim Wells County. He was reared in Benavides in Duval County. He has an older brother, Gabriel Raymond, Jr. (born 1959). He graduated from Benavides High School and attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in government with a minor in history. Raymond then earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Texas School of Law, also in Austin.
Intelius.com lists Raymond, his mother, and his wife, the former Michelle Yvonne Gould (born September 19, 1969), as former residents of Skykomish in King County, Washington. The dates are unclear, as Raymond was back in Texas in 1992 to run for the legislature, and he did not marry until 1994. The couple wed in Austin and has three children: Aren, Eva, and Ryan Raymond.
