U.S. Representative Juan Ciscomani of Arizona’s 6th District voted in favor of the Senate Amendment to H.R. 5371, known as the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, a measure intended to end the ongoing federal government shutdown once signed by President Trump.
Ciscomani stated, “I was proud to vote for this bill to reopen the government and restore regular order in Congress for the American people. This legislation builds on the appropriations work we completed earlier this summer for Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, the Legislative Branch, and the Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration divisions.” He added, “It ends the shutdown for thousands of federal employees, SNAP recipients, and others who rely on a functioning federal government — and it delivers real wins for Arizona’s Sixth District, including over $340,000 for the Oracle Fire District. This shutdown was completely unnecessary and overdue to end. It’s disappointing to still see so many democrats, especially Arizonans, voting to remain shut down. But I’m proud to vote in favor of delivering results and restoring stability for the communities I serve.”
Ciscomani has been representing Arizona’s 6th district since replacing Ann Kirkpatrick in 2023. He won his seat after defeating Kirsten Engel in both the 2022 and 2024 general elections.
