| 释义 |
Crawford earned a degree in Industrial Relations from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After serving in the United States Navy and as an Oxford city commissioner, Crawford was first elected to the legislature in 1982. He considered a run for Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina in 1988, but dropped out and was re-elected to the House. In 1992, he ran for Lt. Governor, losing in the Democratic primary to Dennis Wicker. Crawford's seat in the House was won by Richard H. Moore. When Moore ran for Congress in 1994, Crawford won the seat back. He was re-elected without opposition in 2006. In 2008 and in 2010,[3] he was opposed by Libertarian Barbara Howe. In 2012, after supporting the budget passed by the House Republican majority and after supporting the bill that put North Carolina Amendment 1 before the voters, Crawford was defeated in the May 8 Democratic primary by fellow Rep. Winkie Wilkins. The Republican majority had placed both Democratic lawmakers in the new 2nd District during redistricting.[4][5] Crawford endorsed Republican Pat McCrory in the subsequent general election for Governor. McCrory later appointed Crawford to the state Board of Transportation.[6] Notes1. ^https://archive.org/stream/northcarolinaman20012002nort#page/514/mode/2up 2. ^NC General Assembly: House Appropriations Committee members 3. ^2010 Election results 4. ^http://www.reflector.com/ap/staten/1-nc-dem-who-voted-gop-budget-loses-2nd-wins-1058537 5. ^2012 Primary election results 6. ^WRAL.com: McCrory names Crawford, Wetmore to NC DOT Board{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} External links
