Political career

Sandy Crawford was first elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in 2010. Previously her involvement in politics consisted of serving as Chairperson of the Dallas County (Missouri) Republican Central Committee.^[3] She defeated fellow Republican Warren Love by just under 1,400 votes to win the August, 2010 Primary.^[4] In the November, 2010 general election she won nearly sixty-six percent of the vote to defeat Democrat John L. Wilson and Constitution Party candidate Raymond Kish for the right to represent the 119th District in the Missouri House of Representatives.^[5]

Following the 2010 U.S. Census all Missouri House of Representative districts were reapportioned and district boundaries redrawn. Since Sandy Crawford's home was in the newly created 129th District, she ran for that House seat in 2012. In the August, 2012 Republican primary Crawford faced off with Randy Angst, who had represented the 146th District prior to the redrawn boundaries. Crawford was victorious in the primary with a bit over fifty-five percent of the ballots cast in her favor.^[6] The November general election again pitted Crawford against Democratic opponent John L. Wilson, who she soundly defeated in 2010. The margin of victory for Crawford was even larger in 2012, as she received nearly seventy-seven percent of all votes cast.^[7]
