New race ratings from the non-partisan outlet National Journal’s House Power Rankings list Juan Ciscomani as the fourth most vulnerable Republican incumbent in the country.
The ranking highlights the competitive nature of Ciscomani’s district and signals a closely watched contest in the upcoming election cycle.
According to National Journal, “Trump carried the sprawling southeastern Arizona district by less than a point, and Ciscomani defeated Democrat Kirsten Engel by about the same margin.” The publication also notes that JoAnna Mendoza, a Marine Corps veteran, is challenging Ciscomani this year and has cleared the primary with strong fundraising and endorsements from national groups like EMILYs List. National Journal further states, “Ciscomani’s biggest liabilities this cycle are Trump’s unpopular tariffs and the absence of the president’s name at the top of the ballot to boost turnout among the GOP base.”
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly said, “Juan Ciscomani’s disastrous cost-spiking record has solidified him as the fourth most vulnerable Republican in the entire country. Southern Arizonans are tired of Ciscomani’s broken promises. They’re ready to send retired Marine Corps drill instructor, working mom, and mission-first leader JoAnna Mendoza to Congress to finally fight for them.”
