Congressman Eli Crane, representing Arizona's 2nd District, has raised $1.1 million in the first quarter of this year. This achievement marks the highest off-year Q1 fundraising total in the district's history and surpasses any single-quarter amount raised by the Democrat incumbent he defeated in 2022. Crane's fundraising efforts are bolstered by a robust small-dollar, digital program, which is among the largest for House Republicans.

In the first quarter, over 20,000 grassroots conservatives contributed online to Crane's campaign. Congressman Crane expressed his commitment to challenging what he describes as "The Washington Status Quo," stating: "The Washington Status Quo has failed Arizonans from all backgrounds. That is why I am proud to go up against it every single day in order to bring real, impactful change to the way things are done up there. I am humbled by the number of patriotic Americans who support this mission and I promise to keep fighting for them day and night."

Crane also emphasized his alignment with former President Donald Trump’s agenda: "I’m proud to stand with President Trump as he takes on the Washington Swamp and enacts his agenda to Make America Great Again." He further highlighted his determination by referencing his Navy SEAL background: "One thing the SEALS teaches you is that failure is not an option. Right now, we have an opportunity that cannot be squandered. That’s why I will continue to do my part every single day to support the America First movement."
