Richard Crandall

Crandall has chaired the education committees in both the Arizona Senate and House. He was appointed in 2013 to head the Wyoming education department, a position that was ruled unconstitutional by the Wyoming Supreme Court.

He is the founder and president of CN Resource, which provides oversight and audit services of federal child-nutrition programs for state education agencies.
