Dear Friend, As Arizona’s population and economy continue to grow, the continued success of our state relies on our ability to secure our water supply. This requires strategic investments and bipartisan cooperation. As your Representative, and co-chair of the bipartisan Colorado River Caucus, I will continue to champion efforts that modernize infrastructure, promote resiliency and conservation efforts, and ensure reliable water access for Tribal nations. Helping to Secure our Future Water Supply |
From meeting with the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Tucson to honoring my dear friend, Marana Mayor Ed Honea on the House Floor, it has been full & productive week. #AZ06

The United States’ national debt recently surpassed $36 trillion and is becoming increasingly unsustainable every day, risking our nation’s fiscal stability. This is why I am thrilled to join the Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency Caucus (DOGE) Caucus to work closely with President-elect Trump’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to reduce waste, cut unnecessary red-tape, streamline bloated government bureaucracies, safeguard taxpayer dollars, and put America back on the path of fiscal responsibility.
Critical in the fight to rein in out-of-control spending is you, the American people. These are your hard-earned tax dollars. If you have any relevant information, or suspect waste, fraud, or abuse at a federal agency, please reach out to DOGE@mail.house.gov.
Independent pharmacies are critical to rural communities in my district, and I was proud to invite Monique, the Executive Director of the Arizona Independent Pharmacy Coalition, who I met while visiting a rural pharmacy in SaddleBrooke, to Washington D.C. to highlight the urgent need to reform the practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs).
At the press conference, I emphasized the negative impact of their unfair practices have on rural pharmacies, which have led to closures in my district. These independent pharmacies are vital to our communities, often being the only medical professionals available, their closure could result in a health access crisis that leads to delayed treatments and worsened health outcomes. I shared stories from constituents who faced increased costs and delays in care due to PBM practices. It is crucial to address these issues to ensure all individuals, especially those in rural areas, have access to quality healthcare.
Mayor Ed Honea was one of the most influential leaders in southern Arizona and a dear friend of mine, and it was my distinct honor to recognize his nearly four decades of dedicated service to Marana on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Ed tirelessly worked to improve his hometown, championing it with a steadfast resolve and genuine. He passed unexpectedly on November 22, but his legacy will continue to have a positive impact in his community long into the future. Ed’s commitment to public service and his community was unparalleled. We will deeply miss you Ed, but your spirit and contributions will always be remembered.
Last week, local leaders and community members gathered to celebrate the life of Sierra Vista Councilman Greg Johnson, who passed away on November 6 at the age of 78. Greg was a Marine Corps veteran, businessman, lawyer, professor, and devoted public servant. Before his time on the City Council, he served on the board of directors for various chambers of commerce and tourism organizations. Greg was a staunch advocate for fiscal responsibility, believing deeply in strategic community investments that improved quality of life. Laura and I hold his wife Suzanne, their family, and his loved ones in our prayers. His work and legacy will continue to positively impact our community long into the future.
As we gather to celebrate the Holiday Season with loved ones and gear up for a New Year, I spoke with NewsNation to share my holiday blessings and discuss what the holiday season means to my family. We immigrated to the U.S. in the early ’90s when I was 11 years old. I became a U.S. citizen in 2006, and 16 years later, I ran for the United States Congress – becoming Arizona’s first naturalized citizen from Mexico to represent the state in federal office. My dad often asks, “Where else in the world could we have this story?” And the answer is nowhere. This is why we are so proud to be citizens of this great nation and why I am beyond humbled to serve this country in Congress.
Ciscomani’s Bill to Address Healthcare Workforce Shortage Endorsed by the Problem Solvers Caucus
The Tombstone News
“Representatives Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) celebrated the Problem Solvers Caucus, a coalition of members aimed at fostering bipartisan cooperation in key policy issues, endorsement of their legislation to provide additional funding for nursing programs at community, Tribal, and junior colleges.”

“That effort wasn’t without its own controversy. A laundry contract went to the mother of a top employee at a charity, who apparently had overcharged the charity by $200,000. U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani asked the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security to look into it.”
Tucson Speaks Out: Dec. 1
AZ Daily Star
“I would like to express my appreciation for my Congressman Ciscomani and congratulate him on his reelection. He brings vitality, courage and caring to his community. I heard Speaker Johnson say that he is one of the hardest-working members of Congress. He engages with people from one end of his district to the other by attending and participating in community events and holding round tables to hear concerns and ideas from the people. I am thankful for him and the positive energy he brings to Congress on behalf of not only the people he represents, but all people. This is apparent by the bills he has written or helped write, sponsored or co-sponsored. I see him embrace this journey with positivity and determination. Thank you, Congressman.”
Greg and Pam Ayers were living the American Dream – or least a version of the American Dream that exists in our imaginations.
They each held executive positions in the finance industry. They enjoyed the benefits of significant salaries. And they lived in a nice home in Salt Lake City, a thriving state capitol well-known for its quality of life.
What more could the Ayers want?
They wanted to make a difference.
So they quit their jobs, moved to Tucson and founded GAP Ministries, a faith-based non-profit that helps foster children and families in need.
This bold move has proven to be not only a remarkable second act story for the Ayers. It is a testament to how two motivated people with a vision can open the door to the American Dream for the most disadvantaged in our community.
Today, GAP Ministries is 25 years old, has a staff of 120 people and an annual budget of $10 million. Earlier this month, they opened a new kitchen on their five-acre campus that will ramp up the organization’s output of 200,000 to 400,000 hot meals a year.
No question about it. The Ayers are definitely making a difference.
Our district encompasses so many incredible people and stories that I want to share both with my colleagues in Washington and through the platforms I have as a Member of Congress, such as speaking on the House floor. Please visit my website and share your story with me and my team. I look forward to hearing from you!
