Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.

✓ verified AI Inference Voted yea_unverified on H.R. 7006 (Financial Services and General Government and National Security Appropriations Act, 2026) on 2026-01-14: Against constituent interest: Crank voted against extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies in this appropriations package. CO-05 has 48,172 workers in healthcare, the district's top employment sector, and approximately 5.5% of residents lack health insurance. Crank stated he 'cannot support an extension of the ACA subsidies without serious reform,' opposing a measure that directly benefited district healthcare consumers and providers.

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 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.
