What they stand for
Crenshaw has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports expanded Medicaid primary care accessCrenshaw has sponsored the Medicaid Primary Care Improvement Act in multiple congresses, indicating sustained attention to primary care reimbursement policy within the Medicaid program. The legislation, introduced in both HR.3836 and HR.1162, has drawn cosponsors across sessions, reflecting ongoing engagement with access-to-care issues for Medicaid-enrolled populations.
- 02Seeks federal firearms enforcement accountabilityCrenshaw sponsored the ATF Accountability Act of 2025 (HR.607) and the Preventing Unjust Red Flag Laws Act of 2025 (HR.223). HR.607 addresses oversight of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, while HR.223 would restrict federal action related to red flag firearm laws. Both bills have been reintroduced across congresses.
- 03Prioritizes health care for veterans and public safety officersCrenshaw sponsored the Public Safety Officer Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury Health Act of 2025 (HR.2830), which addresses TBI health care for public safety officers, and HJRES.19, a resolution acknowledging the service of Vietnam War veterans. Both measures have been reintroduced across multiple congresses with substantial cosponsor counts.
- 04Supports state reimbursement for border security costsCrenshaw sponsored the State Border Security Reimbursement Act of 2025 (HR.424), which would provide federal reimbursement to states for expenditures related to border security activities. The bill has been reintroduced and referred to committee, reflecting continued legislative attention to the allocation of border security costs between federal and state governments.
- 05Voted against the Social Security Fairness ActOn the final passage vote for the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 (HR.82), Crenshaw voted against the bill. The vote placed him in opposition to the majority of his party on that measure. The bill subsequently became law.
