Rep. Eli Crane, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona’s 2nd district since 2023, posted a series of statements on his social media account on September 3, 2025, focusing on forest management and related legislative efforts in Arizona.
In one post at 13:58 UTC, Crane wrote, “Easy yes. Let’s ban it.” At 14:58 UTC the same day, he addressed bipartisan concerns about forest management in rural Arizona, stating, “This is such a critical point. In rural Arizona, this has become a bipartisan issue to those impacted on the ground. We must push harder to enable proper forest management. The House has passed the Fix our Forests Act twice now.” Later that afternoon at 16:35 UTC, Crane added another comment: “Unacceptable. Unsustainable. We have to do better.”
Crane’s remarks reflect ongoing debates over environmental policy and land management in Arizona’s rural areas—a subject that has seen increased attention due to wildfire risks and resource concerns. He highlighted the passage of the Fix our Forests Act in the House of Representatives as an example of legislative action taken to address these issues.
Crane was born in Tucson in 1980 and currently resides in Oro Valley. He succeeded Tom O’Halleran as representative for Arizona’s 2nd district after winning election in 2022.
