Rep. Eli Crane, who represents Arizona’s 2nd congressional district in the U.S. Congress, shared several posts on his official X account on December 15, 2025, including an announcement about Grand Canyon University’s (GCU) nonprofit status.

In a post published at 16:16 UTC, Crane wrote: “On March 5th, I joined @RepAndyBiggsAZ in a bipartisan delegation letter urging @usedgov to recognize @gcu as a nonprofit institution of higher education.
