U.S. House Rep. Juan Ciscomani is supposed to represent the nearly 800,000 people living in Congressional District 6. Instead he represents the ultra-wealthy and obeys his masters in the administration. He voted for the Trump budget plan that proposes $2.2 trillion on tax breaks for the wealthy while gutting Medicaid by nearly $800 billion. In Arizona Medicaid pays for nearly half of childbirths, for nearly half of nursing home patients, and healthcare for 3 of every 8 children. The bill he voted for cuts $294+ billion in food and nutrition assistance to families, children and nursing mothers. More than 170,000 of his constituents rely on Medicaid. 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.
