If it weren’t for Jim Click's major campaign contributions and business support, Rep. Ciscomani would already be a struggling Republican candidate in AZ CD6. Ciscomani has voted to cut Medicaid for tens of thousands of his constituents in his Congressional District and to end SNAP food stamp programs for children, not to mention removing support for rural hospitals. He consistently opposes healthcare assistance for his voters and has voted against it on the House floor every time it has been proposed. Yet, he has the audacity to send letters to government agencies begging them not to remove taxpayer-funded Medicaid, food stamps, hospital support, and Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage. That is some audacity. Ciscomani is nothing but a deceitful, spiteful man, hiding from voters and acting like a contemptuous, scaredy-cat when it comes to holding town hall meetings. Ciscomani is Arizona’s national embarrassment!
Thank you for sharing details from the town hall. I’m trying to keep a pulse on how our healthcare ecosystem is being impacted. That cardboard cutout is the closest we get from him.
The town hall sounds just like pablum mouthed ex military Ruben Gallegos. When will we realize that you don't get straight answers out of ex military politicians? Sinema is not the only politician who has sown distrust! And WHY the frick are we waiting for MAGAs idea of healthcare? If Democrats dont grow a friggin spine and make ( or sign on to) a bold plan to produce decent healthcare in this country we will be on record as allowing democracy itself to slip away.
There were only a handful of questions during the hour long town hall and while I think your criticism is fair, I was trying to say that Gallego was telling the audience Bernie's solution wasn't the only one he was open to signing to address the immediate crisis. The waiting for the Republican solution implies there is not a public proposal today. Hence, the waiting.
I think that truck with the logo of Daniel Butierrez on it predates the recent election that Adelita Grijalva won. I recall seeing it before election day.
My 9th grade English teacher Mrs. Sanjour back in 1965 told our class that reading the NY Times every day is what separated civilized people from barbarians (or maybe she said savages), I don't recall. So I just looked at the main section of the Times (the print edition, my 99yo dad reads it first) and see there's a photo of Gallego speaking on Friday in Tucson over a big article by Catie Edmondson. Plus there's photos of four attendees. There's almost always a reason a story gets in any newspaper, but I'm curious what people think of why the NY Times covered this, too. Is it national news? Is the paper pushing Gallego as a preferred '28 nominee? Is it just to see what swing state Democrats are thinking?

Not sure why you’re lashing out at Sen Gallego, (not Gallegos). He and Sen Kelly voted against the resolution to reopen the Government.
I don't understand Pima County. WTF is going on? People don't want Project Blue. Tell these weasels to go somewhere else. Enough already.

I've seen it too. What I am not sure is whether the wrap is still on because he is running again in 2026 or that wraps are a pain to take off.

The New York Times has stringers in Tucson. I think while Ciscomani’s participation was unlikely, it was a good meeting to stake out.
It also sets up the healthcare discussion ahead of the Jan 39 deadline.
