Juan Ciscomani is a miracle. Yeah he's the rare RINO with a Trump endorsement, but this bitch is a knuckle-dragging carpet-bagger -- she doesn't live in the District but had the absolute neomarxist gall to seek a rematch!
"Ciscomani beat Engel by about 5,200 votes out of 350,000 two years ago in the 6th Congressional District, which includes parts of Tucson and Cochise, Pima, Pinal, Graham and Greenlee counties in the southeast corner of the state.They both live in Tucson, but Engel lives in the part represented by Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Tucson. U.S. House members must be state residents. They don’t have to live in the district, though the incumbent jabbed his challenger about that.
“I’m not trying to convince you. I’m trying to convince my constituents,” Ciscomani said at one point during the debate. “You don’t live in the district, so you’re not one of our constituents.”
“We need to implement ‘remain in Mexico,’ ” Ciscomani said Tuesday night, referring to a policy that keeps migrants outside the country until they receive a visa."
Like other Republicans, Ciscomani demands an end to “catch and release” – the policy that allows asylum-seekers to remain in the U.S. as they await resolution of their case. And he would resume construction of the border wall, a top Trump priority.
Ciscomani has criticized Engel over comments from 2022 when she denied there was a crisis at the border."
