Mayor of Crawford Won’t Seek Reelection
Months after he endorsed Democrat John F. Kerry for president, the mayor of the tiny town made famous by President Bush’s ranch has decided not to seek reelection.
Crawford Mayor Robert Campbell said his decision had nothing to do with fallout from his decision to join the National Conference of Black Mayors in endorsing Kerry. Instead, he cited differences with the city council.
Campbell, 61, clashed with council members over proposals to build a subdivision in the town of 705 residents. The subdivision project was approved in January over his objections.
