Richard B. Russell Jr. was born November 2, 1897 in Winder, Georgia. In 1918, Russell graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Laws degree. In 1920 his political career began, he was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives. A decade later he became Georgia’s governor. His most significant accomplishment was the reorganization of the state government by reducing the number of agencies from 102 to 17. In 1932, the death of a Georgia Senator opened the door for Russell to enter national politics. Russell announced his candidacy and would win the election. He entered the Senate as the youngest member during a troublesome time in the U.S. He soon would become heavily involved on several committees and administrations setup to help bring the country out the depression.
