Rep. Juan Ciscomani’s agenda fuels gun crime in Arizona as the NRA convenes in Texas

TUCSON, Ariz. — As the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting kicks off in Houston, Rep. Juan Ciscomani has put azin the work to earn his “A” rating from the NRA by cozying up to the gun lobby, which spent nearly $50,000 to send him to Congress.

“Arizonans want leaders who put their kids’ safety first, not the profits of their donors in the gun industry. By adamantly opposing commonsense background checks that keep guns out of dangerous hands, Juan Ciscomani’s extreme agenda fuels gun crime and gun trafficking in Arizona — all while Republicans in Washington have cut funding for local and federal law enforcement,” said GIFFORDS Executive Director Emma Brown.

“Congressman Ciscomani can say he wants to end cartel violence, but his voting record has made it harder for law enforcement to curb gun trafficking at the border. As the NRA gathers for its annual meeting, voters in Arizona are fed up with partisans like Juan Ciscomani. Enough is enough — and it’s time to make a change at the ballot box this November,” Brown added.
