Richey met his future legislative colleague Louis "Woody" Jenkins of Baton Rouge through their Key Club activities. When Richey ran for international Key Club president, Jenkins managed the campaign.

Richey supported Jenkins' Democratic campaigns for the U.S. Senate in 1978 and 1980, but Jenkins lost to the popular incumbents, [[J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.]], of [[Shreveport]] and [[Russell Long]] of Baton Rouge. Jenkins, like Richey, switched to Republican registration in 1994. In 1996, Jenkins ran unsuccessfully as a Republican for the Senate against the retiring Johnston's preferred choice, former state Treasurer [[Mary Landrieu]] of New Orleans. Many Republicans charged that Landrieu's narrow victory was based on "phantom voters" from Orleans Parish. [1]
