Rep. Crank Supports Efforts to Eliminate Fraud, Encourages Colorado to Act Swiftly

January 7, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) has issued a statement after the Trump Administration announced a federal freeze of Colorado funds for child care and social services: "After the exposed fraud was discovered in Minnesota, I support efforts by the Trump Administration to root out fraud and ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent appropriately across the country, including in my home State of Colorado," said Rep. Crank. "I am eager for the State of Colorado to work with the Administration and encourage transparency in our processes so we can ensure funding for legitimate programs continues. The faster this happens, the faster we can lift the funding freeze and reopen critical programs for those who qualify for them." ###
