About 400 constituents packed a Grand Junction church in February 2025 to ask their new congressman questions. He never answered the invitation. Asked why, he said he wasn't interested in 'political theater' and pointed at George Soros — then promised town halls. He has done them by telephone ever since.
In April 2025 Jeff Hurd signed a letter vowing he could not and would not back any bill that cut Medicaid coverage for vulnerable people. Five weeks later he voted for it. Then he voted for it again — and more than 32,000 people in his district are projected to lose coverage.
Keeping Colorado's old coal plants running is costing ratepayers more than $87 million. Asked if it was worth it, Rep. Jeff Hurd said yes — and complained the federal orders forcing one plant open don't last long enough.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote that children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents 'are citizens at birth.' Crank went on Newsmax to say he was disappointed, and that he'd meet with House leadership about what Congress could do.
Crank's Armed Forces Carry Rights Protection Act would write a presumption in favor of carrying personal guns on military installations into permanent law — the opposite of what the Pentagon's own suicide-prevention committee recommended.
On April 6, 2025, CBS reported it could find no criminal record for 179 of the 238 men shipped to CECOT. On April 7, Crank introduced H. Res. 295 endorsing the removals. Two months later a federal judge ruled they were unlawful.
H.R. 9979, the 'Freedom to Ship Act,' repeals the federal ban on mailing concealable firearms and fines UPS or FedEx $10,000 every time they decline a gun shipment. Three other Republicans signed on.
A Wall Street Journal investigation found ICE is paying contractors millions to scan social media around the clock, then using subpoenas to unmask Americans who criticize the agency. Nobody has been charged. That may be the point.
H.R. 899 is one sentence long. But abolishing the Department of Education is only the loud part of the plan — the quiet part is a new, uncapped federal tax credit that drains public school money into private and religious schools.
