Life and career

[edit]

Cranfill was born in Greybull, Wyoming. He attended Weber State University and the University of Pacific.[1] Cranfill worked as a social worker, in road surfacing, as a teaching assistant and as a life insurance agent.[3][4]

Cranfill served in Wyoming House of Representatives from 1975 to 1978.[2] He served on the House Corporations, Elections & Political Subdivisions and House Travel, Recreation & Wildlife committees.[2] He then tried for a seat in the senate after being frustrated that legislation passed from the house often failed to pass the senate.[4] He ran against the incumbent republican Gerald Geis for the Washakie County seat but lost.[5][6]

He married Dana Taggart, daughter of senator Cal Taggart, in the Wyoming State Capitol building.[7]
