Arizona Republican Juan Ciscomani Launches Congressional Campaign

 

Juan Ciscomani, a native Arizonan and an advisor to Governor Doug Ducey, ignited a bid for Congress on Tuesday to represent Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District.

“Joe Biden & Nancy Pelosi are pushing failed policies that are hurting Southern AZ: An avoidable border crisis, efforts to force a federal takeover of our elections, crushing taxes & out-of-control spending that leave the American Dream out of reach for so many,” Ciscomani described as his reason for declaring his intent for the seat.

According to his campaign website, Ciscomani will focus on a host of issues that are important to residents of Southern Arizona. However, his first two issues are border and election security.

“Arizona’s border should be an asset, not a liability. If the federal government does its job securing the border, we can focus on maximizing the benefit to Arizona from the improved USMCA trade deal with Mexico. We want legal trade that benefits American workers, not illegal drugs coming across the border,” he details of the border crisis.

Furthermore, Ciscomani pledged to oppose federal takeovers of election, as proposed in H.R. 1. He argues Pelosi crafted the bill to “stack the deck” against Republicans in elections.

Yes, Every Kid

Ciscomani has served as an advisor to Ducey since 2015, specifically focusing on Southern Arizona and relations with Mexico and Latin America. Additionally, he oversees the Arizona-Mexico Commission.

“I am a grateful beneficiary of the American Dream and I am determined to fight to preserve it for my kids and future generations of Arizonans. There is work to be done, and with your help, I know we can get our country headed back in the right direction,” Ciscomani added in a tweet.

The open seat for the 2nd Congressional District is made available by incumbent Rep. Anne Kirkpatrick (D-AZ-02) electing to retire from Congress.
