Rep. Eli Crane, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 2nd district, shared a series of tweets on December 5, 2024, addressing various issues ranging from budgetary concerns to tax relief measures. Crane replaced former U.S. Congress member Tom O'Halleran in 2023 and has been vocal about matters affecting his constituents.
On December 5, 2024, Rep. Eli Crane tweeted about his participation in a hearing regarding the Biden administration's handling of the VA budget. He stated: "Earlier today, I participated in a hearing focused on the Biden administration’s VA budgetary mismanagement. These bureaucrats misrepresented their shortfalls, failed to adequately inform Congress, and abruptly revised their numbers. Might want to look into this @DOGE."
Later that day, he expressed support for a measure aimed at providing tax relief to those affected by natural disasters. He noted its potential benefits for rural Arizona communities impacted by events such as wildfires and flooding: "Proud to have supported this commonsense measure that provides tax relief to those impacted by natural disasters. This could be a huge benefit to Rural Arizona in the aftermath of wildfires, flooding, or other catastrophic events."
In another brief tweet posted on the same day, Rep. Crane simply stated: "It's time." The context or subject of this statement was not elaborated upon.
