| Introduction | Elected Mayor in 1989, I am currently serving my 6th term as Mayor, the longest-serving Mayor of my hometown, Manitowoc, Wisconsin. By virtue of office, I have served as Chairman of the City's Plan Commission and as a Commissioner of the Manitowoc Public Utilities since being elected 16 years ago. Knowing that low cost energy and water drive the success of a community, I have taken a keen interest in our community owned utility, and am recognized as one of the most knowledgeable local elected officials in the electric energy area in the state and nation. I realized that the City of Manitowoc needed a healthy combination of both tourism and manufacturing to become an economic force. Since election in 1989, I have worked energetically and positively to give Manitowoc its new found status. It has been said, "Mayor Crawford's leadership and boundless energy have infused the City of Manitowoc with a recharged and progressive attitude while Manitowoc remains one of the lowest taxed cities in the State of Wisconsin. He continues to guide the City down the path of progress and continues to be respected as a City Leader." |
