On this day 62 years ago, America’s nutrition assistance program was signed into law, helping generations of Arizona families and children afford healthy, nutritious meals. Today, Juan Ciscomani and Eli Crane are working to dismantle that program to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
In the year since Ciscomani, Crane, and House Republicans voted to cut $187 billion from SNAP with their Big, Ugly Bill, half of all recipients in Arizona – nearly 500,000 people, including roughly 200,000 kids – have lost critical nutrition assistance.
Last week, the DCCC launched a mobile billboard campaign in AZ-06 to hold Ciscomani accountable for his cruel cuts to food aid.
Ciscomani’s opponent, JoAnna Mendoza, grew up on SNAP and understands how crucial the program is for Arizona families and voters struggling to make ends meet.

Washington Post: Democrats target Republicans who voted for SNAP cuts with billboards
- About a year ago, cuts to the nation’s largest food assistance program went into effect as part of the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill, affecting about 4.5 million Americans.
- On Wednesday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee plans to roll out mobile billboards targeting a handful of House Republicans in swing districts who voted for the cuts, accusing them of taking food off voters’ plates.
- The billboards are slated to travel to the districts of Reps. Juan Ciscomani (Arizona), Gabe Evans (Colorado), Mike Lawler (New York), Ryan Mackenzie (Pennsylvania) and Monica De La Cruz (Texas).
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“The defining issue of the midterms is Juan Ciscomani and Eli Crane’s broken promise to Arizonans to lower costs. In November, voters will hold Ciscomani accountable for his vote to take food away from hardworking families, all to pay for massive tax breaks for his billionaire backers.”
