David L. Richter

David Louis Richter (born June 2, 1966) is an American engineer, lawyer, businessman and political candidate. Richter is also the former CEO of Hill International, the global construction management firm. A member of the Republican Party (United States), he is currently running to represent New Jersey's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.
Richter was promoted to Hill’s CEO in 2014. During his term as CEO, he initiated and led the sale of Hill’s Construction Claims Group to a private equity firm for $140 million. In 2016, following a stockholder proxy contest, control of Hill’s Board of Directors was taken over by independent directors named by certain activist investors. In 2017, once the sale of the Claims Group had been completed, Richter left Hill as a result of disagreements with the new Board over the company’s strategic direction. After Richter left Hill, he founded Richter Capital LLC, an asset management firm for which he serves as Chairman and CEO.
== Political career ==
=== 2nd district race ===
In April 2019, Richter announced the formation of a congressional exploratory committee to explore the possibility of seeking the Republican nomination for Congress representing New Jersey's 2nd congressional district. In August 2019, he formally announced that he was a candidate for Congress to challenge Democratic freshman Rep. Jeff Van Drew. Richter was widely viewed as the front runner for the Republican nomination, but after he voted against the impeachment of President Donald Trump, Van Drew switched parties in December 2019 and became a Republican with the support and endorsement of President Trump.
=== 3rd district race ===
In January 2020, Richter withdrew from the race against Van Drew and announced he was entering the Republican primary race to challenge freshman Democrat Rep. Andy Kim (politician) in New Jersey's 3rd congressional district. Despite his late entry into this race, Richter won the endorsement of the Ocean County Republican Organization. Two other primary challengers, John Novak and Tony Porto, dropped out of the race and endorsed Richter, and he faces only former Burlington County freeholder Kate Gibbs, a labor union lobbyist, in the July 7th primary.
