Statement from Jo Mendoza on
Juan Ciscomani’s Vote for Reckless Budget
Marine Veteran and AZ-06 candidate slams Ciscomani for abandoning Arizona families
RED ROCK, AZ – Today, JoAnna Mendoza, candidate for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District released the following statement on Juan Ciscomani voting for Republicans’ reckless budget.
“Juan Ciscomani has once again left Arizona behind - rubber-stamping a $3.8 trillion increase in the deficit all to slash Medicaid and food assistance that more than 170,000 of his constituents rely on. This vote targets working families, seniors, people with disabilities, and rural hospitals already stretched to the brink. It guts the very programs Arizona families count on while giving tax breaks to billionaires.
Ciscomani has proven that he has no spine, no courage, and sure as hell no respect for our working families. Signing letters might make Juan feel good, but his vote proves he will always put party bosses ahead of Arizonans.”
The vote comes just weeks after Ciscomani claimed that “balancing the federal budget must not come at the expense of those who depend on these benefits for their health and economic security.” That didn’t stop him from voting to do exactly that. Arizonans don’t need more empty statements - they need someone who will actually fight for them.
