He was later the owner of the La Sal Livestock Company and of its successor, Redd Ranches. Redd also served three terms as a member of the Utah State Legislature, and his main objectives included the raising of the per capita school fund tax to benefit rural schools, the allocation of funds for road construction in San Juan County, the relocation of the Utah State Prison, and the legalization of horse racing in the state of Utah. Redd was affiliated with various social and political organizations throughout his life, including the Boy Scouts, the Utah Power and Light Company, the Amalgamated Sugar Company, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Federal Land Bank. Redd was also a recipient of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II in 1957. In 1972, a donation made by Redd and his family established the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies and the Lemuel H. Redd Chair in Western History at BYU, his alma mater. Redd died in Provo, Utah, in 1975 following various health complications.
