Political career
In the 2022 Oregon House of Representatives election, Cramer defeated Democrat Anthony Medina.

In her first term in office, Cramer sponsored legislation in favor of school choice, to provide record funding for Oregon public schools, repeal Measure 110, and put tighter restrictions on the possession and use of fentynal. She also supported legislation aimed at addressing Oregon's housing shortage, including specific funding for housing for agricultural workers and victims of sexual and domestic violence.

Cramer is a member of the House Education Committee, House Early Childhood and Human Services Committee, and the Education budget committee.

Cramer was vocally opposed to a move by the Oregon Board of Education to suspend graduation standards in Oregon high schools for another four years, following the Legislature's suspension in 2021. She told the Oregon Capital Chronicle at the time: "I think the bigger issue here is that the board has continued to remove standards and has not come up with a game plan,” she said. “I think that’s why parents and Oregonians are kind of frustrated. Just because graduation rates are improving, it doesn’t mean proficiency is.”

She challenged the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care — a new executive branch agency tasked with overseeing various preschool and early childhood education programs — about alleged misuse of taxpayer funds. The Department of accused of spending millions of dollars on preschool slots that were never filled.
