01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
Elijah James Crane represents Arizona's 2nd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, a seat he has held since January 3, 2023. A member of the Republican Party, Crane is a businessman and former United States Navy SEAL. He was first elected to Congress in 2022, defeating Democratic incumbent Tom O'Halleran. His legislative voting record is marked by a consistent pattern of voting against bills that passed with broad bipartisan support, often as one of a small number of members voting in opposition. He voted against the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (HR.2882), the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 and Other Extensions Act (HR.5860), and multiple other continuing resolution and appropriations measures including HR.6363, HR.6503, HR.2872, and HR.8289. He also voted against the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (HR.3935), the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 (HR.82), the Autism CARES Act of 2024 (HR.7213), the Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act of 2024 (S.4367), and America's Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act of 2024 (S.3791), among others. In each of these cases the bill subsequently became law and Crane's vote was against the majority of his own party.
