ARIZONA–After Ciscomani dodged questions from constituents, refused to debate Engel on television, and this year refused to debate his primary opponent, Ciscomani has a long, extreme record to answer for. Before Engel and Ciscomani debate tonight, here are some facts about Ciscomani.
Six Facts about Ciscomani:
- Ciscomani has lied about his anti-abortion record and packed the Arizona Supreme Court with anti-abortion judges that brought back an abortion ban from 1864.
- Ciscomani founded the Arizona chapter of the Patriot Academy, a group that believes we should rewrite the constitution and is against abortion with no exceptions for rape of incest.
- Ciscomani took $4,800 from lobbyists who sold Arizona’s water to Saudi farmers.
- In congress, Ciscomani supported Donald Trump’s tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and voted to slash IRS resources to go after tax loopholes.
- Constituents have asked “Who does Ciscomani represent? Tucson or Mar-a-Lago?” After he killed the bipartisan border bill because of Donald Trump’s orders.
- Ciscomani refused to debate Engel last cycle and skipped out on primary debates this cycle.
Ciscomani’s constituents have said that “he consistently votes and sides with the extremists in the House. The House majority, which he is a member of, has accomplished nothing because they don’t stand for anything other than to create fear,” and that “when [Ciscomani] had the opportunity to do something about immigration [he] showed the backbone of a jellyfish.” Juan Ciscomani has left voters wondering “Who does Ciscomani represent? Tucson? Or Mar-a-Lago?” and hoping “…he gets a backbone and starts to fight for his constituents,” which is why they will reject him in November.
