For the last several years, Crane has been a donor of the Democratic party. He also hosted former president Barrack Obama’s golfing event in Florida, and donated to Obama’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee. In 2016, he didn't continue that support by backing Hillary Clinton.
Crane backed the Republican party, donating $5,000 to the Republican National Committee in 2000. He has also donated to several politicians, including former Texas Senators John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison.
