Who is H.R. Crawford?

H.R. Crawford is a real estate developer and former Democratic politician in Washington, D.C. He was elected as Ward 7 member of the Council of the District of Columbia in 1980 and served three terms.

In March 1973, Crawford was nominated by President Richard Nixon to be Assistant Secretary for Housing Management at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He served in that position until January 1976, when President Gerald Ford asked for his resignation because of a Justice Department investigation into possible conflict of interest violations. The investigation eventually cleared Crawford.
