In 2021, Elder launched his first run for public office as a Republican candidate in the recall election of California's Democratic governor Gavin Newsom.

• Larry Elder, '77: Filling the Conservative Airwaves | Law Quadrangle

  After practicing law for several years, a one-week guest-hosting opportunity on a Cleveland talk radio show ignited his talk radio career. He was offered his own show at KABC in Los Angeles in the late 1980s, and he has been on the air, online, and on cable TV ever since. He added another book, Dear Father, Dear Son (WND Books, 2012), and also writes a blog on topics such as, “Will Eric Holder Ever Run Out of Race Cards?” and “Ferguson: Not Even An O.J. Jury Would Convict Officer Wilson.” Suffice it to say he has not been profiled by Ebony. Ask him if he cares. However, he was honored this year with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. [...] Elder’s views directly reflect his upbringing. He was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. His parents, Randolph and Viola, both were hard working and had experienced racism. But, says Elder, they refused to raise their three sons as career victims. Elder recalls his mother reading him a children’s book about U.S. presidents in the 1950s. “And she said, ‘Larry, if you try hard enough, someday, you could be in this book.’” Elder points out that he didn’t have to wait for 2008 to believe that. His mother also told him no one could hurt his feelings without his permission. Randolph Elder (U.S. Marine, janitor, restaurant owner, in that order) was equally unruffled. [...] Despite the Obama era, Elder, a Republican and “small ‘l’” libertarian, is not backing down. He focuses on what he calls the “victicrats,” which he defines as those who live with a “those forces are holding me back” mindset. “That’s what the left has done to women, to gays, to Latinos, to minorities. Because the left is a collection of special interests of people who feel maligned,” he says. “And what I like to think I do is I de-program victicrats so they can think for themselves.” ## More From This Issue Fall 2015 Cover Story ## So You Want to Work in Entertainment Law?
