Eli Crane

Crane's record is measured in votes and legislation rather than trophies. He won a competitive House seat in 2022 by unseating an incumbent, then defended it in 2024 against a nationally known opponent in Jonathan Nez. In the House he has been a consistent Freedom Caucus voice, and his 92 percent Heritage Action score for the 119th Congress places him among the chamber's more conservative members. His veterans retreat legislation, signed in October 2026, is the clearest example of a bill carrying his name into law.
