Is Juan Ciscomani the Right Person to Represent Southern Arizona; Kirsten Engel does not Think So

Juan Ciscomani, an advisor to Governor Doug Ducey, is the leading Republican candidate (so far) vying for his party’s nomination to represent most of Southern Arizona in the House of Representatives after the 2022 elections.

But is he the right person for the position?

Let us see where he stands on the issues.

A woman’s right to choose: He is against it.

Ensuring everyone’s right to vote: He is against federal proposals to secure it and spews big lies to justify his opposition to them.

Having the rich pay their fair share in taxes: Probably not for that either. He parrots the Republican line on tax policy.

Regulations to make the workplace and environment safer: Do not hold your breath. He supports fewer regulations.

Truth in the instruction of history: He mislabels that critical race theory and strongly condemns it.

Does this sound like a person that shares the values of the majority of residents in Southern Arizona?

Former State Senator and Democratic candidate to represent the citizens of Southern Arizona in Congress, Kirsten Engel, does not.

She commented that:

“Ciscomani is Governor Ducey’s right-hand man in Southern Arizona and was personally recruited by major GOP donors like Jim Click. We know how devastating Ducey’s anti-science, anti-education, and anti-environment agenda has been for Southern Arizonans and how it’s prolonged the COVID-19 crisis. His corrupt administration has fought for corporations and the super-rich at the expense of working families, seniors, and our children. We don’t need a Ducey crony representing Southern Arizona in Congress. This is not who we need representing us in Congress. Now more than ever, we need someone who will stand up for Southern Arizona families. Whether it’s protecting our environment and tackling climate change, building an economy that works for everyone, ensuring access to affordable, quality healthcare, or protecting abortion rights, I’m ready for the fight.”

Voters in the soon-to-be-former Arizona Congressional District Two will have a choice to make in 2022.

Will they choose the candidate that embodies the positions of the discredited right or the person that supports policies that lift everyone up and move the district, state, and nation forward.

It really should not be that hard a decision.
