William J. Randall

William J. Randall is a former member of the United States House of Representatives. He was a member of the Democratic Party from Missouri.

Randall was born in Independence, Missouri on July 16, 1909. He attended the University of Missouri and later the Kansas City School of Law, from which he earned his Juris Doctor. Randall served as a private attorney for seven years until being drafted into the United States Army in 1943. He served in The Philippines during World War II, and he eventually reached the rank of sergeant.

After returning home for the war, Randall was elected as a Jackson County, Missouri judge in 1946 and sat on the bench until 1959. Following the death of Congressman George Christopher, Randall successfully won election to the House.

Randall was considered a close ally of Harry Truman. He served on the Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Government Operations. In 1977, Randall retired from the House to resume the practice of law. He died on July 7, 2000.
