Basic profile — the most important sourced facts we found.
Crank was born in Pueblo, Colorado, in 1967, according to Ballotpedia; his official biography says he was born and raised in southern Colorado, the son of a school teacher's aide and a World War II Navy veteran who later managed a missile program at the Pueblo Army Depot.[1][2] He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Colorado State University in 1990.[1][2] From 1991 to 1998 he worked in Washington, D.C., for Rep.
