Crawford served as the Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Stirling from 2007 to 2021, having previously represented the Mid Scotland and Fife region 1999–2007. Crawford was born in Perth. Prior to entering politics, he was a human resource manager with the Scottish Office.

Following the adoption of a new constitution by the SNP in 2004, Crawford was appointed as the SNP's Business Convener. At the 2007 Scottish Parliament election, Crawford gained the Stirling seat from the Labour Party.

On 19 May 2011, Crawford became the Cabinet Secretary for Parliamentary Business and Government Strategy, departing from this role on 5 September 2012.
