(NASHVILLE) — State Rep. John Crawford (R-Kingsport) received the distinguished National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) Medallion Award from Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett.
The NASS Medallion Award allows individual Secretaries of State to recognize outstanding service and dedication to furthering the mission of the association within each state. It was created to honor individuals, groups, or organizations with an established record of promoting the NASS’ goals in one or more of the following areas:
- Elections, with special focus on voter education and participation.
- Civic education, including the teaching, promotion and study of this subject.
- Service to state government, specifically as it relates to the duties of the office of the Secretary of State.
- A commitment to giving – a business or individual whose philanthropic contributions have significantly enhanced the quality of life in a local or regional area within a state, or within an entire state.
“Representative Crawford is well-deserving of the NASS Medallion Award,” said Secretary Hargett. “Representative Crawford has been a diligent supporter of meaningful legislation that enhances election security, protects voter data, and makes it easier than ever to register to vote in our great state. It’s my privilege to present him with this award.”
“It is an incredible honor to receive this prestigious award and to support the work of my friend, Secretary Tre Hargett,” said Rep. Crawford. “The effective partnership between our General Assembly and our constitutional officers has been instrumental in addressing our unique and emerging needs as a state. In the years ahead, I know that together, we will continue to build upon the remarkable economic growth and prosperity all three grand divisions of Tennessee have recently experienced.”
