Richard Falknor is a writer, journalist, and a close student of those American and British conservatives who continue to influence modern times. For nearly 15 years Falknor managed an independent weekly health-business newsletter from his Prince Frederick, Maryland, office. The five-reporter publication became the ‘bible’ of the home health care industry.
Falknor gained substantial hands-on government experience as an aide to Senator Henry M. Jackson and to House and Senate committees, then as a policy staffer with the U. S. Department of Transportation and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The American Political Science Association named Falknor a Congressional Staff Fellow enabling him to attend Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government where he received his M.P.A. in 1967.
A graduate of the Phillips Exeter Academy and the University of California at Berkeley, he received the Army Commendation Medal for his work editing the Seventh Army newspaper in the cold-war Germany of the late 1950s.
Married to Susan Freis Falknor, a professional editor and a published poet, long-time Marylander Falknor keeps his Free State roots, but now lives near the Blue Ridge in Loudoun County where he can stay in touch with his grandchildren in Virginia.
Richard Falknor was elected Vice President for Special Projects in 2000, and re-elected in 2001 and 2002. Since 2003, he has served as Executive Vice President of MTA.
Falknor has also chaired the Maryland Center-Right Coalition since November 2001 (see Contact Information for other State Center-right Coalition Meetings), and is a columnist for the on-line
