Later that day at 16:40 UTC, he addressed concerns about transparency and the treatment of whistleblowers: “Whistleblowers and experts are often dissuaded from disclosing info due to intimidation tactics.
We’ve seen this across the board, including advanced technology and UAPs.
Without strong protections in place, the administrative state will continue to block transparency. https://t.co/XPYXJVlwgQ“.
At 18:56 UTC, Crane discussed his meeting with Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz regarding local issues: “Today, I sat down with Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz to discuss priorities in #AZ02.
Topics included first responder trail repairs needed at Fossil Creek, Snowbowl, 4FRI, and supporting the timber industry.
Chief Schultz understands the critical needs of rural Arizona. https://t.co/3nN0WFBDt4“.
Crane has served as the representative for Arizona’s 2nd District since replacing Tom O’Halleran in 2023. Born in Tucson in 1980 and currently residing in Oro Valley at age 43, Crane has focused on both national transparency issues and specific needs within his largely rural constituency.
