Sarah Crawford co-founded b-fresh consulting LLC. She approaches challenges with political instinct, organizational skills, and a smile.
Sarah Crawford began her professional career by helping to put John McCain on the political map. As a field director for McCain's 2000 presidential campaign, Sarah built strong campaign teams in her regions, which resulted in a historic grassroots victory for the Arizona Senator in New Hampshire, Michigan, and Vermont.
At the conclusion of McCain's 2000 campaign, Sarah moved to Washington, DC to help set up Straight Talk America, Senator McCain's Political Action Committee.
Sarah then joined the National Republican Congressional Committee as the Assistant to the Executive Director.
In 2002, Sarah moved back to New Hampshire to work on Craig Benson's successful campaign for Governor of New Hampshire. Benson, an unknown in political circles, relied on Sarah's networking skills to assemble an active group of supporters in the business, law enforcement, hospitality, and veterans communities.
Following the 2002 election, Sarah accepted the position of Deputy Eastern Region Manager for the United States Chamber of Commerce. In this position, Sarah was responsible for legislative and political grassroots strategy in eleven states in the Northeast. To achieve the U.S. Chamber's public policy goals, Sarah's networking priorities included state and local Chambers of Commerce, business members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Senate and House members and their staff.
In June of 2004, Sarah returned to New Hampshire to join The Dennehy Group as a lobbyist and political advisor. During this time Sarah also served on the Board of the Manchester Young Professionals Network and was an advisor to the Small Business Association of New England.
In December 2006 Sarah accepted the role of Deputy New Hampshire Campaign Manager for John McCain's second Presidential Primary. Sarah's extensive knowledge of the Granite State and her relationships with opinion leaders, activists and elected officials allowed her to play a leading role in McCain's second First-in-the-Nation victory.
After the New Hampshire Primary, Sarah continued to serve as a senior campaign adviser to McCain 2008. When Senator McCain clinched the Republican nomination for President, Sarah left the campaign to help found b-fresh consulting LLC.
Sarah holds a B.A. from The University of Vermont where she majored in American History.
