“Corrupt Cowardice,” “Lost All Credibility,” “Violated His Oath:” Ciscomani Blasted For Casting Deciding Vote to Cut Medicaid

Arizona voters are filling the pages of the Daily Star with complaints against vulnerable Republican Juan Ciscomani, who cast the deciding vote last week to jeopardize health care for hundreds of thousands of Arizonans. New analysis shows that 27,764 Arizonans living in Ciscomani’s district would lose health care under his and the House GOP’s Tax Scam.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Juan Ciscomani broke his promise to Arizona families and cast the deciding vote to rip away health care from thousands of his own constituents. Voters are paying attention, and they’ll hold Ciscomani accountable in 2026.”

Here’s what Arizonans are saying…

Arizona Daily Star: Letter: Ciscomani betrays his constituents

• [Ciscomani] represents the ultra-wealthy and obeys his masters in the administration.
• He has violated his oath and betrayed the most vulnerable of his constituents.
• We need members of Congress who will stand up for us, not the wealthy donors and corporate influencers. Ciscomani must go.

Arizona Daily Star: Letter: Ciscomani proves himself anti-Medicaid and SNAP

• Every time I’ve called his office, his staff either “doesn’t know” his position… [on] Medicaid and SNAP.
• Ciscomani cast a decisive vote for the budget that the Congressional Budget Office says will eviscerate both programs.
• The budget passed the House by a 215-214 vote. His vote mattered. And he voted to harm tens of thousands of his constituents, and tens of millions of Americans. The beneficiaries of his vote are billionaires. 
• Watch what Ciscomani does, not what he says, because his word, like Trump’s, is worth nothing.

Arizona Daily Star: Letter: Ciscomani casts the deciding vote

• Congressman Juan Ciscomani’s vote put Republicans over the top. The legislation cuts tens of thousands of Ciscomani’s constituents from Medicaid and SNAP food stamp programs.
• How proud Congressman Juan Ciscomani must be to have been the vote to make a difference for “King Trump’s Big Fat for the Rich Tax Cut Bill” to pass in the House.

Arizona Daily Star: Letter: Ciscomani sticks it to us

• Late Wednesday night (5/21), Juan Ciscomani voted for budget legislation that will … give the 1% wealthiest people a 4% increase to their income while stripping 2% of income from the poorest people in southern Arizona. That’s 40,000 of your constituents, Juanito.
• You know this, so you hide from us here in Congressional District 6. So stuff your pockets with donations from the billionaires while leaving the poorest among us to seek healthcare somewhere. Corrupt cowardice does not look good on you. Shameful.

Arizona Daily Star: Letter: The Big Bad Bill

• I continued to call his offices and was reassured that Mr. Ciscomani would never vote for a bill that would cut Medicaid, SNAP or other critical programs which 77,000 of his constituents rely on.
• Mr. Ciscomani voted yesterday to slash Medicaid, SNAP and Planned Parenthood.
• You, Mr. Ciscomani, have lied and lost all credibility.
