Navy SEAL Announces GOP Bid For Ariz. 1st District
A retired U.S. Navy SEAL and Shark Tank winner launched his bid to take on an Arizona Democrat for a seat in the House of Representatives. On Tuesday, veteran Eli Crane announced he would be challenging Democrat Tom Halleran in the 2022 midterms, saying it’s his time to step up and serve his country as Arizona’s congressman.
Crane will be running in the state’s 1st Congressional District, which was won by President Trump in 2016, giving the conservative Republican a potential leg up over Halleran. Meanwhile, he has already accused his opponent of being Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) puppet.
Crane joined the Navy just days after 9/11 and went on to serve in the Middle East, training with the most famous U.S. sniper Chris Kyle. In his campaign video, Crane is shown getting the phrase “we the people” tattooed on his arm as he criticizes career politicians for being self-serving.
“The problem with Washington politicians is they have no skin in the game. It’s all about them and almost never about us,” said Crane.

Jul 20I joined the Navy week after 9/11 & volunteered to be sent into the heart of the fight for America. Today I’m announcing my run for Congress. If we don’t start sending folks who are willing to die for it then we’re going to loose it. Follow me

Dan wore a wire for the first time, traveling to the event with Musico, Morrison, and Bellar. The men were decked out in ballistic body armor, brandishing pistols and AR-15 assault rifles — de rigueur for the hundreds of protesters amassing in Lansing that morning. They were there, Morrison and Musico said, to recruit new members, but around noon, as they milled among the crowd, Dan started hearing whispers about storming the Capitol.
Less than two weeks earlier, the Watchmen had built a mock-up of a house using PVC tubing, and Dan helped show them how to push inside before clearing each room — techniques he’d learned in the Army. The Watchmen referred to it as a “kill house.” Now, outside the Capitol, it appeared they might be preparing to put that training to use — this time with hundreds of state police standing between them and the imposing renaissance revival building.
Panic rising, Dan slipped away from the group for a moment and spoke into the recording device he was carrying, which he knew was being monitored live by his FBI handlers. The Watchmen, he said, were preparing to breach the Capitol. The agents couldn’t speak back to him, but he hoped they could at least warn the police about what was coming.
Then something surprising happened. The Michigan State Police stood down and let the protesters — including those in full tactical gear — enter the building unopposed. They could even bring their guns, so long as they submitted to a temperature check for COVID-19
