Juan Ciscomani

Juan Ciscomani coaches flag football for fifth and sixth graders.¹ He and his wife, Laura, live in Tucson with six children.¹ His family came to the United States from Mexico when he was a boy, and his father worked as a bus driver in Tucson.¹

Ciscomani worked maintenance and service jobs while studying at Pima Community College and the University of Arizona, becoming the first in his family to graduate from college.² He later worked at the university and the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce before becoming an adviser to Governor Doug Ducey and vice chair of the Arizona-Mexico Commission.¹ Voters elected him to Congress in 2022.¹

In Congress, he supported the Republican tax and spending legislation enacted in July 2025, including its changes to Medicaid.³⁴ He had earlier joined Republican colleagues warning against damaging hospital funding, but ultimately backed the final bill.⁴ He argues that eligibility checks and work requirements protect assistance programs from fraud, a position Mendoza disputes.⁵

For his next term, Ciscomani advocates tighter federal spending and opposes tax increases as responses to rising living costs.⁵ He also supports stronger border enforcement and cooperation between federal agencies and local law enforcement.⁶ His bid for a third term comes as voters weigh those priorities against concerns over insurance coverage and the future of Southern Arizona's hospitals.⁴
