As a constituent living in Southern Arizona almost as long as my current U.S. representative, Juan Ciscomani, has been alive, I hope he knows how important it is for him to honor and incorporate the history of this district into his work.
People are also reading… His election in the fall of 2022 would never have been certified if the Republican members of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors had had their own way with vote counting. These were members of Ciscomani’s party working against him. Lucky for him, democracy and voting integrity, these supervisors were forced to accept the actual vote count, allowing him to win with a vote margin of a few thousand votes.
His party seeks to obscure an accurate telling of our country’s history, whether it be issues related to slavery and the Civil War or the treatment of Indigenous peoples. If in fact he does not support these positions, then he must make it absolutely clear what he does stand for and what we can expect of him as our representative.
