Rep. Eli Crane, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona’s 2nd district since 2023, posted a series of statements on his social media account addressing the topic of gender and sports participation.
On March 15, 2026, Crane wrote: “Men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports. This is not complicated. Unless you’re an elected democrat, I guess.”
Later that same day, he followed up with another post stating: “Rules for thee but not for me” (March 15, 2026).
The next day, on March 16, 2026, Crane posted a single emoji: “”.
Crane was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1980 and currently resides in Oro Valley. He succeeded Tom O’Halleran as the representative for Arizona’s 2nd district after the 2022 elections.
