| Description | Ellen Craswell, a born-again Christian and conservative Republican stalwart who served in both houses of the Washington Legislature and ran for governor, is dead at 75.
In 1996, four years after retiring from the Senate, Craswell won the GOP nomination for governor, focusing her campaign on moral issues and her belief in what she felt was God's plan for state government. She left politics after losing to Democrat Gary Locke in the general election.
Shortly after that election, she was diagnosed with sarcoma in her leg, but the cancer was declared in remission until last November, when a tumor was discovered rapped around the carotid artery in her shoulder. |
