Rep. Eli Crane, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona’s 2nd district since 2023, posted a series of messages on social media on September 5, 2025, addressing topics ranging from federal employees to national energy policy.
In a post published at 00:18 UTC, Crane commented on recent developments involving federal workers: “Most Americans probably want those 1,000 HHS workers to resign.”
Later that day, at 12:46 UTC, Crane criticized lawmakers’ approach to renewable energy investments and their impact on traditional energy sectors. He wrote: “Foolish politicians on both sides have wasted billions (your money) trying to force wind and solar into the energy market. In doing so, we’ve neglected and even strangled our core competencies in energy production. Now, we’re all paying the price.”
At 14:00 UTC the same day, he posted another brief message accompanied by a link: ” https://t.co/CQFhAUpp5Z”
Crane’s comments come amid ongoing debates over the direction of U.S. energy policy and concerns about government spending. He succeeded Tom O’Halleran as representative for Arizona’s 2nd district in 2023 and is known for his positions on fiscal responsibility and domestic energy production. Born in Tucson in 1980, Crane currently resides in Oro Valley.
