Eli Crane is a former Navy SEAL who served five wartime deployments. He brings that same toughness and mission-focused mindset to Congress to challenge the status quo and stand up for Rural Arizona values.
Crane helped advance legislation to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. He strongly opposes allowing politicians to go into lobbying after their time in government, and knows – like all Arizonans – that members of Congress should not be paid during government shutdowns.
After serving in harm’s way defending our way of life and our electoral system, Crane has led the charge to pass national voter ID to ensure only living American citizens vote in our elections.

As a father and small business owner, Eli Crane understands the financial pressure Arizonans deal with every single day. Career politicians have only made it worse. They looked after their jobs, their bank accounts, and their own interests – not yours.
Eli Crane is fighting back. He believes you should be able to get ahead instead of just getting by. That’s why he’s spearheading the effort to cut taxes, lower costs, defend Arizona jobs, and bring new investment to AZ-02.
Crane voted for the largest middle class tax cut in history, in addition to eliminating tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security, while expanding the Child Tax credit. Crane has also taken on the out-of-touch bureaucrats who are trying to regulate our ranchers, farmers, and miners out of business, in addition to the big corporations who think they can pull the rug out from under American workers by importing cheap foreign labor.

When the White Sage Fire and Dragon Bravo Fire raged through Northern Arizona, Eli Crane stepped up and passed legislation to expedite recovery efforts because families, workers, and businesses cannot afford to wait for their communities to bounce back.

Eli Crane is relentlessly focused on one thing and that’s putting Rural Arizona first. He’s worked to grow Arizona’s copper industry, improve rural healthcare, protect Arizona’s water supply, clean up abandoned mines posing a serious health and safety hazard, and improve opportunities for tribal entrepreneurs.

Eli Crane has a message for the radical environmentalists – their Green New Deal scams are not welcome in Rural Arizona. That includes their wind and solar farms. These projects aren’t just ugly, they’re unreliable and a major contributor to rising utility bills.

The border crisis unleashed on Arizona during the Biden-Harris administration must never be allowed to happen again. After supporting funding for thousands more Border Patrol agents, better technology, and more wall, Eli Crane is working overtime to codify into law the border security policies of President Trump to keep the border the most secure it has ever been in American history. Crane is pushing hard to finish the wall, hire more immigration judges, and deploy new technology to detect deadly fentanyl.

Instead of giving money to countries who hate us and propping up fraud-ridden nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), Eli Crane believes we should be focused on taking care of those who risked it all for our freedom.
Our nation’s veterans are heroes who deserve the highest standard of care. Crane is championing solutions to ensure these heroes have greater access to healthcare, better outcomes, and more opportunities once they re-enter civilian life.
