Biography & Campaign Analysis
Background
Juan Ciscomani, born Juan Ciscomani III in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, was raised in Tucson, Arizona. He attended Pima Community College and the University of Arizona, becoming the first member of his family to graduate from college, and afterward worked at the University of Arizona as a program development specialist. He lives in Tucson with his wife, Laura, and their six children.
Career
In 2003 Ciscomani interned for U.S. Representative Ed Pastor, a Democrat from Arizona, and he later completed a fellowship with Democratic Representative Loretta Sanchez.
He ran unsuccessfully for the Arizona Legislature in 2008 and served as vice president of outreach for the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, as well as on the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board and the Pima County Commission on Trial Court Appointments.
From 2015 to 2021 he was a senior advisor to Governor Doug Ducey and vice chair of the Arizona-Mexico Commission.
Ciscomani won the 6th district in 2022, narrowly defeating Democratic state Senator Kirsten Engel, and defeated Engel again in a 2024 rematch.
During the 2023 speaker election he nominated Kevin McCarthy, and in February 2023 he delivered the Republican response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address in Spanish. In the 118th Congress he served on the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
His caucus memberships include the Problem Solvers Caucus and the Republican Main Street Partnership, and in May 2026 he joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers that launched a U.S.-Mexico Caucus.
2026 race
Arizona's 6th district encompasses much of southeastern Arizona, with the bulk of its population in northern Tucson and its suburbs, and Ciscomani was reelected there with 50.0% of the vote in 2024.
Following speculation that he might run for governor in 2026, he decided to seek reelection to the House and was unopposed in the Republican primary, receiving 76,481 votes.
In the general election on November 3, 2026, he faces Democrat JoAnna Mendoza, a former veteran services representative for U.S. Representative Tom O'Halleran.
