U.S. Rep. Eli Crane Representative for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District | Ballotpedia
Rep. Eli Crane, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Arizona’s 2nd district, shared several updates on social media regarding his legislative efforts and collaborations. Born in Tucson, Arizona, Crane has been active in Congress since replacing Tom O'Halleran in 2023.
On February 20, 2025, Rep. Crane announced that he had reintroduced the Hire Veterans Act alongside Rep. Mike Levin. The legislation aims to improve forest management by simplifying the hiring process for veterans who are qualified for vacant positions. He expressed gratitude to Grand Canyon Times for covering this bipartisan initiative: "Last week, I reintroduced the Hire Veterans Act alongside @RepMikeLevin."
Later that day, Crane conveyed his support for a letter cosigned with Rep. Andy Biggs addressed to President Biden and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin concerning economic impacts on Arizona due to federal policies. Citing Rep. Biggs' statement about air pollution sources in Maricopa County, he criticized punitive measures against Arizonans: "Proud to cosign @RepAndyBiggsAZ's letter to @POTUS and @epaleezeldin about Biden-era attacks on Arizona's economy."
In another post on February 20, 2025, Rep. Crane extended his appreciation to USBP Chief TCA and their team without providing further context: "As it should be."
