Stephen Crowley began his career as a photographer in 1972 during a stint at a community newspaper in Jupiter, Florida. Mr. Crowley moved to Washington DC in 1986 where he covered the remaining two years of the Reagan presidentcy and the Iran-Contra hears on Capitol Hill for The Washington Times. In 1992 Crowley moved to The New York Times Washington bureau covering The White House, Congress and  was embedded in the Dole, Bush, Kerry, McCain and Romney campaigns.
