He has a touching life story that may be made into a movie, he is a Navy reservist, and a successful businessman with degrees from Georgetown, Notre Dame law and Harvard Business School. And he is eyeing the political world.
John Crowley, of Princeton, may be a dream Republican candidate.
The Star-Ledger has a profile today that looks at Crowley, a Princeton resident, who considered jumping into this year's New Jersey Senate race before deciding against it.
That's when Crowley's name, and his personal story, became widely known in political circles. He was a successful businessman whose two children were diagnosed with a rare muscular disorder, Pompe disease. There was little doctors could do, so Crowley left his job to create a bio-technology company to develop treatments and a research cure. He has raised millions for the cause.
According to the Ledger story, Crowley could jump into the 2009 gubernatorial race if U.S. Attorney Chris Christie does not run, or he may enter the 2012 Senate contest. Crowley, who hosted a well-attended political party at the Republican National Convention, doesn't make any commitments in the story.
