Who is Cindy Crawford?
A Life of Service
Cindy has dedicated over 30 years to serving her community—as a wife, mother, grandmother, and advocate. As a State Representative, she champions limited government, lower taxes, and the protection of human rights.
She is a strong supporter of workforce development through initiatives like the PEAK Innovation Center and actively advocates for the trucking industry. Cindy is also committed to improving the foster care system by helping families stay together and reducing the number of children entering state care.
Together with her husband, Jerry, she co-founded Tree of Life Preventative Health Maintenance, Inc., a small business focused on youth education and prevention.
Her goal is to help build a strong, thriving community where families and future generations can succeed.
Community Roots
Cindy began her volunteer work in 1990 at the Pregnancy Crisis Center. She later helped establish Hannah House, a home for young women in crisis. For more than 20 years, Hannah House provided life skills training and support to women and children in need.
Family & Foundations
I’ve been married to my husband, Jerry Crawford, since 1980. A lifelong entrepreneur, Jerry once owned and operated a custom shop for Harley-Davidson motorcycles and later ran employment agencies. Between those ventures, he held maintenance positions at two major corporations in Fort Smith.
Today, Jerry travels with me to Little Rock, serving as both my support system and unofficial bodyguard. When I’m working long hours at the Capitol, you’ll often find him fishing—or in the fall, answering the call of the woods as an avid deer hunter, helping provide food for our table.
Jerry and I are proud parents to two incredible sons—Nick (and his wife, Jenni) and Miles—and grandparents to two wonderful grandchildren, Jamie and Isaac, who lovingly call me “GranC.”
My mother, Bonnie, lives in Oklahoma and is a retired teacher and librarian. My father, Ott, served as a Business Agent and later President of Teamsters Local 373 in Fort Smith. Their strong work ethic and deep love for our country continue to inspire me in my service to our state.
I’m one of three daughters. My sister Melody and her husband Don live in Oklahoma, along with their children and grandchildren. My oldest sister, Stephanie, passed away in 2008 and is now in heaven, along with my father and other beloved family members.
A Personal Motto
One of the principles I live by is this:
Life is too short to be bitter or angry with anyone.
Get mad, get over it, and move on.
As it says in Ephesians 4:26,
“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your anger.
