Crane expressed views on issues concerning the Ak-Chin Indian Community, gang affiliation, U.S. trade policies, and media bias. Known for his commitment to his constituency, Crane frequently engages with various stakeholders in his district and beyond.

On April 14, 2025, Rep. Eli Crane highlighted his visit with the Ak-Chin Indian Community leadership, discussing collaboration with the Indian Health Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Crane expressed gratitude, stating, "Great visiting with the leadership of the Ak-Chin Indian Community today. We talked about ongoing work with IHS and the Army Corps of Engineers. Thank you to Chairman Lopez, Vice-Chair Carlyle and members of the council for all you do. I’m proud to represent you in Congress."

On April 15, 2025, Crane commented on a situation concerning an individual's identity and alleged gang affiliation. He succinctly remarked, "Maryland man…More like MS-13 gang member."

Crane also voiced his opinion on historical U.S. trade policies the same day, criticizing past leadership for permitting unfavorable practices against America. He acknowledged current efforts to address these issues, with a nod to Peter Navarro, a public figure and economist. Crane stated, "For decades, the world ripped off America because our 'leadership' turned a blind eye to manipulation. Fortunately, we now have fighters in key positions like @RealPNavarro. The media's outrage is laughable considering their silence on outsourcing and one-sided trade deals."

Eli Crane, aged 43, was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1980 and now resides in Oro Valley.
