Congressman Juan Ciscomani, who represents Arizona’s 6th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on his social media account on October 6, 2025, addressing the ongoing government shutdown and calling for action from Senate Democrats.
In his first post at 19:22 UTC, Ciscomani referenced Senator Mark Kelly by writing, “Can the Mark Kelly of 2023 please stand up??”.
Later that day at 20:00 UTC, he commented on pending Senate legislation intended to end the government shutdown. He stated, “TODAY: The Senate will vote on legislation to end the shutdown. House Republicans did our job – let’s see if Senate Democrats will get on board to support our federal workers who are negatively impacted because of their actions.
The longer this goes on, the more damage will”.
At 22:16 UTC, Ciscomani reiterated his call for Senate action with another post: “Senate Democrats have another opportunity to do the right thing tonight.”
Juan Ciscomani began serving as U.S. Representative for Arizona’s 6th district in 2023 after succeeding Ann Kirkpatrick. In recent elections, he won closely contested races against Kirsten Engel—securing victory in both 2022 and 2024 by narrow margins.
