Overview

Jeff Crank represents Colorado in the U.S. House as a Republican with a firmly conservative voting record. Across 452 recorded votes, he has shown strong support for tax-related legislation, energy and environmental deregulation, criminal justice measures, and technology bills, while frequently opposing labor protections, healthcare expansion, and reproductive rights measures. On fiscal matters, Crank has voted in favor of budget proposals and tax legislation at high rates, supporting the fiscal year 2027 congressional budget and continuing appropriations. His environmental and energy votes reveal a pattern of supporting deregulatory measures, including voting to disapprove EPA rules on California engine pollution standards and backing the Ratepayer Protection Act, which aims to limit certain energy regulations. Crank's defense and foreign policy record is more nuanced. He voted against War Powers Resolution measures that would have directed the removal of U.S. Armed Forces from Lebanon, suggesting support for maintaining military engagements authorized by the executive branch. Notably, in the criminal justice category, he voted in favor of impeaching President Trump, a position that set him apart from many in his party. His voting pattern on labor issues stands out as one of his most consistent areas, having voted against labor-related bills 80% of the time. He has also cast votes against healthcare measures in the majority of opportunities presented, though the small sample size of three votes in that category limits the strength of that observation.
