This is the same guy who voted for massive tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, which increased the federal deficit.

Tracking the impact of Trump's tariff policy Tariffs are among the defining policies of President Donald Trump's second term. CNN is tracking their impact on the US economy and American consumers.

Arizonans are seeing the largest price increases on consumer goods. Why? TARIFFS!

While we struggle with high costs, Rep. Ciscomani is failing to stand up against President Trump’s tariffs.

Rep. Schweikert has dropped the ball on lowering costs for Arizonans.

While Arizonans are struggling to afford health care and food, he voted to give massive tax breaks to billionaires and give $75 billion to ICE.

Priorities of Rep. Ciscomani:

➑️ Stupid amount of funding to ICE & CBP

What SHOULD be Ciscomani’s priorities:
➑️ Lowering food costs

Ciscomani votes against extending health-care subsidies Republican U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani of Tucson voted Thursday against extending a set of Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years.

So, all those letters about the importance of protecting the ACA from Rep. Ciscomani was complete BS?

Of course it is! Rep. Ciscomani has the interests of the ultra-wealthy placed above the needs of his constituents!
