Elizabeth Richards Andujar, known as Betty Andujar (November 6, 1912 - June 8, 1997), was the first Republican woman, a homemaker by stated occupation, to have served in the Texas State Senate. From 1973 to 1983, she represented District 12 in Fort Worth, the seat of Tarrant County in North Texas. Andujar was born in the state capital of Harrisburg in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, where her father was, according to information supplied by her family to the Texas State Cemetery, the state's chief justice. However, there is no Judge Richards on the List of Justices of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; perhaps "Richards" is not a maiden name but a middle name, or her father had another surname. Andujar received a bachelor's degree from the Presbyterian women's institution, Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, just north of the Maryland state line.In 1935, Andujar, who was Anglo, acquired her Hispanic name through her marriage to the physician John Jose Andujar (1912-2003). The couple moved to Fort Worth in 1937, when Dr. Andujar was appointed laboratory director of Harris Hospital there.
