Notes
Strickland sought office in two states, as a Republican in Louisiana in 1972, challenging Gillis William Long for the United States House of Representatives, and as an Independent in Montgomery County, Texas, for a county commission seat.

Roy Clifton Strickland (September 20, 1942 – September 22, 2010) was a businessman in The Woodlands, Texas, north of Houston, who was a pioneer in the development of the Republican Party in the U.S. state of Louisiana. Strickland challenged the Democrat Gillis William Long, a part of the Long political dynasty, for the United States House of Representatives in 1972. More than a decade later, he ran unsuccessfully for local office as a write-in candidate in Texas.
