Representative Edward Hull Crump

Edward Hull Crump (born October 2, 1874) was a Democratic politician who represented Tennessee in the United States House of Representatives during the early 1930s. Serving as a member of Congress from Tennessee’s 9th congressional district, he held the office of U.S. Representative for two terms, from December 7, 1931, to January 3, 1935. His tenure placed him in the midst of a period of significant national political and economic change.

Crump’s service in Congress was formally identified under the bioguide ID C000955, and he is recorded as a historical, former member of the House. As a Democratic representative from Tennessee, his career in Washington was defined by his role in the national legislature rather than by documented committee assignments or leadership positions in the available record. He left office at the conclusion of his second term in 1935, closing a four-year span of federal legislative service.
