Sarah Crawford announced today that she is running for North Carolina Senate under the newly voted upon maps in District 18.

 “For almost a decade, under unconstitutionally gerrymandered districts, politicians in Raleigh have had the wrong priorities.  They have undercut funding for our schools, they’ve not paid teachers what they are worth, and they have risked the lives of over half a million North Carolinians by not expanding affordable healthcare coverage,” Crawford said.  “The people of Wake and Franklin Counties deserve better.  As Senator, I will work hard every day to ensure that every child receives the world-class education they deserve and I will fight to protect families from the partisan politics that have denied healthcare coverage to hundreds of thousands.”

Crawford, a resident of Eastern Wake County, is the daughter of a public-school teacher and a state employee.  She worked her way through college, obtaining her Bachelor of Arts from North Carolina State University.  She has dedicated her career to serving the people of Wake and Franklin Counties through her work in nonprofits, working with organizations in higher education and health and human services. She currently serves at Single Stop, helping families work towards the American Dream by connecting them to existing resources that help put them on a path to economic stability and prosperity. Prior to that, she worked at Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities in Wake County.

Crawford has been active in the local community, serving on the Ministry Leadership Team at Hope Lutheran Church in Wake Forest, and on the Board of Directors at Safe Space in Louisburg, working to reduce relationship violence and sexual assault in Franklin County.

Crawford and her husband Dan live in Eastern Wake County where they raise their two daughters, Emily (10) and Abby (8).
