JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford says he has tested positive for COVID-19. In a statement issued Monday by his staff, the 55-year-old Arkansas Republican said he was fully vaccinated but contracted the coronavirus late last week.  It was unclear whether he has received a booster shot. Crawford said he has no significant symptoms, feels well and expects no complications. However, said he will remain in isolation this week at his home in Jonesboro and intends to cast his House votes by proxy. Crawford is in his sixth term serving the 1st Congressional District in eastern Arkansas.
