Hilmar Guenther Moore (July 28, 1920 – December 4, 2012) was an American rancher and long-time Mayor of Richmond, Texas. He was appointed Mayor of Richmond in 1949 and remained in office until his death in 2012, making him "probably the longest-serving elected official in the US," according to a 2008 BBC News report.[2] He was honored with a life-size statue at City Hall in October 2008.[3]
Moore's father, John Jr., served as a two-term Mayor of Richmond and a two-term judge in Fort Bend County, Texas.[4] The elder Moore's father, John Sr., was a United States Congressman and Secretary of State of Texas.[4][5]
Moore died in December 2012.[6][7][8] His widow, Evelyn Moore, was appointed to serve out the remainder of his term.[9]
