This is the same guy who voted for massive tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, which increased the federal deficit.

Based on our math, your math is not adding up, Rep. Schweikert. Time for a new calculator.

Rep. Schweikert has dropped the ball on lowering costs for Arizonans.

While Arizonans are struggling to afford health care and food, he voted to give massive tax breaks to billionaires and give $75 billion to ICE.
February 2, 2026 at 3:51 PM
Priorities of Rep. Ciscomani:

➡️ Stupid amount of funding to ICE & CBP
➡️ Tax Breaks for billionaires and corporations

What SHOULD be Ciscomani’s priorities:
➡️ Lowering food costs
➡️ Lowering ealth are costs
➡️ Representing Arizonans, not the wealthy
