Judy Craft has a master’s degree in reading from Georgia State University and was an elementary school reading specialist. She has a lifelong love of reading, literature and education.
Her avocation since raising her family, is “Politics as it relates to the culture.” The issue of children’s access to sexually explicit books in our public libraries propelled her to join with another mother to start Citizens for Family Friendly Libraries in Gwinnett County back in 1995, so she has been working on this issue for decades.
She then served as the legislative aide to Senator Clint Day, has recruited candidates to run for office and helped with many campaigns.
Judy has been a leader in Civics and Moral Concerns Ministries in her church since 1995. She has produced candidate surveys and has also worked within the Republican party as a champion for family issues.
She co-founded Conservative Republican Women of North Atlanta in 1998. Most recently, Judy helped initiate a new grassroots coalition called Georgians for Family Friendly Libraries. Its purpose is to strategize against the onslaught of crude, sexually-explicit and age-inappropriate books our students are confronted with in both public libraries and school libraries. She and Ken now live in Cumming, GA.
