Evidence

“Personally, neither me nor my wife will trade publicly traded stock while I am a member of Congress. Any such trades would be made under a blind trust.”

This establishes the campaign promise directly from Crank’s candidate questionnaire response before he entered Congress.

“Congressman Jeff Crank is currently serving his first term in Congress as the Representative of the 5th district of Colorado.”

This confirms the relevant federal service term began after the 2024 campaign and that the promise applies to his current House service.

The STOCK Act requires covered officials to report transactions “not later than 30 days after receiving notification ... but in no case later than 45 days after such transaction,” including “A Member of Congress.”

Because Members of Congress must publicly report covered stock transactions, the absence of identified Crank periodic transaction reports is relevant evidence for the no-trading portion of the promise.

The Clerk’s disclosure page provides “Financial Disclosure Reports,” including “Download Financial Disclosure Reports” and “Search.”

The official House disclosure system is the primary record source for Member transaction reports and blind-trust filings. Searches found no publicly reported Crank stock transaction record or blind-trust-related trade record as of July 1, 2026.

Quiver says it downloads congressional disclosures, parses them for stock trades, and calculates returns from those trades.

A secondary tracker of congressional stock disclosures did not show Jeff Crank among visible congressional trading records reviewed. This supports, but does not independently prove, that no reportable stock trading by Crank was found during the relevant term.

LegiStorm lists “Rep. Jeff Crank” as “R Colorado, 5th (2025-) In Office” and states that “Jeffrey George Crank (Jeff) has filed personal financial disclosures.”

This corroborates that Crank is in the relevant office and has financial disclosure filings, but the public page does not show a stock-trade or blind-trust transaction. It does not by itself prove fulfillment.

Crank made this as a 2024 federal House campaign promise and is serving the relevant House term beginning in 2025. The promise is a personal-conduct commitment, not a legislative outcome. Official disclosure context indicates Members must report covered stock transactions, and the provided evidence found no public Crank periodic transaction reports, stock-trade records, or blind-trust-related trade records through July 1, 2026. Because no publicly traded stock trades were identified during his congressional service, the no-trading promise appears fulfilled to date, and the blind-trust condition has not been triggered by any known trades.
