Voted yea on H. Con. Res. 14 (Establishing the Congressional Budget for FY 2025 and Setting Forth Budgetary Levels for FY 2026-2034) on 2025-02-25: Against constituent interest: This budget resolution set the framework for massive spending cuts including $880 billion in reductions over a decade. CO-05 has a median household income of $90,465 but a poverty rate of 8.54%, and 5.5% of residents rely on Medicaid. Crank's vote approved a framework that EMILYs List warned could 'undermine health care for nearly 130,000 people in his district.' Constituents protested outside his Colorado Springs office specifically over this vote.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) on 2025-07-03: Cross-pressure vote: Crank voted YEA on legislation that included $785 billion in Medicaid cuts over a decade, directly affecting his district where Health Care & Social Assistance is the largest employment sector (48,172 workers) and where 8.54% of residents live in poverty. Crank had told constituents in March that 'people won't lose' Medicaid, yet voted for a bill flagged by Reuters as cutting Medicaid by $785 billion by 2035. Meanwhile, the bill's permanent tax cuts aligned with his top donor sectors — Real Estate ($53,441), Oil & Gas ($33,181), and his Koch-network allies. Constituent healthcare interests pulled against donor and party tax priorities.
