Rep. Eli Crane, representing Arizona’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress since 2023, has recently shared a series of thoughts on social media. Previously a replacement for Tom O'Halleran, Crane now voices key issues and local matters.

On April 17, 2025, Crane expressed a sentiment of dissatisfaction with Congress, stating, "For decades now, Congress has failed the American people. Both sides." This remark critiqued the legislative body's performance over the years.

Later on the same day, he followed up with a succinct comment: "Guilty as charged." The context or target of this statement was not specified.

Additionally, Crane shared insights from his activities on April 16, involving interactions with the White Mountain Apache Tribe to discuss critical infrastructure improvements. In his tweet, he mentioned, "Yesterday, I spent the day with the White Mountain Apache Tribe to learn more about their water infrastructure plans, visit one of their schools, and stop by the American Legion to speak with veterans." He expressed gratitude towards Chairman Kasey Velasquez for facilitating the visit, which was enriched by face-to-face discussions with local veterans and leaders.

Eli Crane, born in Tucson, Arizona, currently resides in Oro Valley. His ongoing engagement with his constituents and efforts to address local and national issues continue as part of his legislative agenda.
