U.S. Representative Eli Crane, who serves Arizona’s 2nd district, posted a series of statements on his social media account in early November 2025 criticizing Democratic lawmakers and outlining his ongoing efforts for constituents despite what he termed the “Schumer Shutdown.”
On November 7, 2025, Crane wrote: “Despite the Schumer Shutdown, my team and I remain committed to fighting for the amazing people of #AZ02. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been focused on while Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego keep voting NO: https://t.co/iw0RB4OujL”.
The following day, Crane made two additional posts targeting Democratic legislators. On November 8, he stated: “Imagine that. Democrats padding the pockets of their insurance buddies, all at the expense of everyday Americans. https://t.co/IOulwY4JYP”. Shortly after, he added: “Democrats just want to keep funneling money to their wealthy supporters in the insurance industry. https://t.co/2ewFrvavn0”.
Eli Crane has represented Arizona’s 2nd congressional district since 2023 after succeeding Tom O’Halleran. Born in Tucson in 1980, Crane is currently 43 years old and resides in Oro Valley.
