Voting analysis

Elijah Crane files more bills on public lands and natural resources than on anything else, which is what a large rural Arizona district tends to produce. His voting record, by contrast, is dominated by the defense authorization.

The defense bill, contested and then rejected

Across the bill's floor consideration he found himself on the losing side of amendment after amendment, backing changes that failed and opposing at least one that survived — then voted no when the authorization itself came up. He took the same posture toward a reauthorization his party carried, and toward an unsuccessful amendment on the State Department spending bill. The record is that of a member who wanted a different bill and would not settle for the one produced.
