She was first elected to office in 2002, when she won a seat in the Maine House of Representatives. She served in the House from 2002-2008, when she was elected to the Maine State Senate. She was re-elected in 2010 and 2012.[1] In February 2014, Craven announced her retirement from Maine politics following the 2014 election, citing the need to take care of her ailing husband.[2] In 2018, after her husband's death, Craven announced her candidacy for the Maine House of Representatives in the 59th district.[3] She won the uncontested Democratic primary in June, and defeated her Republican opponent in the November general election. PersonalCraven was born into an impoverished family of 11 in Galway, Republic of Ireland; her father worked odd jobs and her mother was a housewife.[4] Craven moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the 1961 at the age of 17 and worked as a housekeeper. She eventually returned to Ireland, only to move back to New England after feeling a sense of not belonging. She moved to Maine, earned a high school diploma, bachelor's and master's degrees and began work with the disabled and senior citizens. She was convinced to run in 2002 by the outgoing state representative.[4][5] She has two children, Walter Matthew and TJ.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.votesmart.org/bio.php?can_id=37163|title=Senator Margaret M.
