AZ-02: New PAC Launched to Defeat Rep. Eli Crane (R), Anti-Abortion Extremist and Member of Crazy 8

Arizona Eagle PAC is seeking to defeat Rep. Eli Crane, one of the most extreme members of Congress and a continuing embarrassment to Arizona. To those who have watched “The Crown,” Crane’s visits to his northern Arizona fief are similar to Princess Elizabeth’s visit to Kenya, a rare experience filled with wonder that is not often repeated. Crane lives outside the district in Tucson and has made no attempt to find a home in the district.

Crane, on the record as opposing abortions, even those that involve rape or incest, has not followed Trump’s attempt to moderate his stand.

One of the most bizarre proposals from Crane is an insistence that his colleagues completely cut off all trade with Mexico, the second largest trading partner of the U.S. His proposal would create food shortages and very high grocery prices for the entire country.

Crane defeated Rep. Tom O’Halleran in 2022 by running as a generic Republican in a new gerrymandered district. Now better known to his constituents, Crane will poll so much worse than a typical Republican.
