Arizona Republicans In Congress Vote For Bill That Would Make It Harder To Vote
"Only about half of Americans have a passport, which on average costs $130, and millions of Americans don’t have readily available access to proof of citizenship paperwork. That’s why advocacy groups are worried this new legislation risks disenfranchising millions of voters, particularly married women and LGBTQ+ people whose names often do not match their birth certificate, and voters of color, who are more likely to lack access to these documents. The legislation could also make it harder for Arizona’s Native Americans communities to cast a ballot. While the legislation allows voters to use tribal IDs, not all Arizona tribes offer tribal IDs. For Native Americans in rural Arizona communities, obtaining a birth certificate in the event the paperwork is lost or stolen can serve as another barrier. Despite its risks, Republican Reps. Andy Biggs, David Schweikert, Abe Hamadeh, Paul Gosar, Eli Crane, and Juan Ciscomani voted in favor of the legislation."

AZ Democrats Criticize Trump's VA Cuts, While Ciscomani Is Silent
"Trump administration plan to cut up to 35,000 unfilled VA positions drew criticism from Arizona Democrats this week. The news of the job cuts, first revealed by the Washington Post on Dec. 13, brought condemnation from Arizona’s two senators – both of whom are veterans – as well as Southern Arizona’s Democratic U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva. The office of GOP Southern Arizona U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani’s office did not respond to the Tucson Sentinel’s repeated questions about the cuts."

Arizona Republicans Vote To Take Healthcare, Food Aid Away From Constituents
"Arizona Republicans in the US House on Thursday voted to pass a budget proposal that cuts roughly $1 trillion from healthcare and food aid in order to help fund tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans.
The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” cuts Medicaid by at least $698 billion, putting hundreds of thousands of Arizonans at risk of losing their health care, and makes another $300 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Roughly 1 million Arizonans rely on SNAP to put food on the table, and many of them could lose their benefits under the budget."

[ . . . ]

"US Republican Juan Ciscomani of Tucson, who co-signed a letter to GOP leadership asking for no cuts to Medicaid, also supported the legislation, voting to pass it even as it is estimated to throw over 28,000 people in his district off Medicaid, according to the Center for American Progress, a liberal thinktank."

Local Opinion: Ciscomani, Patriot Academy Pose Extreme Risks For Sixth District
"Juan Ciscomani is a candidate for the U.S. Congress from Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District. Though he presents himself as a family man with strong community values, the reality is much darker and more dangerous. Among his other extremist associations, Ciscomani founded the Arizona Chapter of a Christian Nationalist group called the Patriot Academy, and he has spent most of his adult life on its board of directors."

Kirsten Engel Slams Juan Ciscomani Over Links To Patriot Academy, A Christian Nationalist Group, As Arizona Congressional Race Simmers
"Tucson Congressman Juan Ciscomani, who enjoys a reputation as a relatively moderate Republican, has long been active with a group that promotes the goal of Christians stewarding the nation’s morality through “biblical citizenship.” [ . . . ] "Frank Pavone, a former Catholic priest who founded the anti-abortion group Priests for Life, sits on Patriot Academy’s board of advisers. He was defrocked in 2022 and is known for, among other things, placing an aborted fetus on the altar two days before the 2016 presidential election to show support for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. Patriot Academy frequently collaborates with Turning Point USA – which hosted Trump’s Phoenix rally in June – and its founder Charlie Kirk. Kirk bused protestors to the Jan. 6 rally that turned into a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol and, like Barton, campaigns for America to be overtly Christian."

"the first-term congressman’s recent characterization of the ban’s reinstatement as a “disaster for women” marks a departure from his work before he was elected to the US House. Prior to elected public service, Ciscomani worked as a high-level advisor in former Gov. Doug Ducey’s administration for nearly a decade, meeting with him weekly and one of four staffers tasked with vetting judicial nominees before the judges were reviewed by the governor.
 

All four of the justices who voted to reinstate the 1864 ban were appointed while Ciscomoni worked in this capacity. A fifth sitting justice, Bill Montgomery, was also appointed by Ducey but recused himself from the abortion ban ruling because his extreme bias against abortion healthcare was made public."
