Congressman Juan Ciscomani, who represents Arizona’s 6th district in the U.S. Congress, has used his social media platform to update constituents on his office’s work and to comment on the ongoing government shutdown.
On November 4, 2025, Ciscomani posted that his team remained active despite the shutdown: “Despite the government shutdown, my team has continued working for AZ06. In October, we opened 70 new cases and returned more than $150,000 to people across AZ06. My office is open and ready to help with federal casework assistance and can provide info on food aid!”
Later that day, he addressed efforts by Republicans to fund food aid programs: “Republicans have pushed to reopen the government 13 times to continue funding SNAP before the Nov 1 deadline. That deadline has passed, and funding has lapsed for SNAP. Why? Senate Democrats voted 13 times to block funding for food aid programs, while others from their party”
On November 6, Ciscomani commented on actions in Washington regarding the shutdown: “Yesterday, I joined colleagues in DC to demand Senate Democrats end the shutdown. @SenateGOP have voted 14 times to open the government—@SenateDems 14 times to keep it closed. At 37 days and counting, this is the longest shutdown in US history. It is time to stop the madness.”
Juan Ciscomani began serving as representative of Arizona’s 6th district after replacing Ann Kirkpatrick in 2023. He secured his seat by defeating Kirsten Engel in both the 2022 and 2024 general elections.
