Courtney Crowder, perpetual rising star


Courtney CrowderHas Courtney Crowder's star finally risen?

The newly appointed legislative director to Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue has been named a "rising star" of state politics so many times he could be his own constellation.

A few of the words of praise:

N&O, 2003: "He's an up-and-comer from Southeast Raleigh who could be a strong voice just as the Wake Democrats are reeling from a local election that saw the sheriff and a county commissioner, both blacks, ousted by voters."

Hotline, 2003: "Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-02) ex-aide — currently President of NC Young Dems; 'definitely will run for office in the future.'"

Hotline, 2006: "Very active with the party and 'certainly a bright star.'"

N&O, 2008: "Courtney Crowder, a public relations professional in his 30s and long active in Democratic circles, is often mentioned as a potential candidate from Southeast Raleigh."
