Rep. Ciscomani Supports Measure to Prevent Government Shutdown

Washington, D.C. - Yesterday, U.S. Representative Juan Ciscomani voted for a short-term continuing resolution to extend government funding through December 4, 2026, helping prevent a government shutdown and ensuring critical services continue for Southern Arizona families, federal workers, and communities. H.R. 9770, Making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2027, passed the House floor with bipartisan support with a vote of 220 to 205.

Rep. Ciscomani has never supported a government shutdown due to the damaging and real consequences it has on the livelihoods of Southern Arizonans. After the vote, the Representative issued the following statement on social media:

"Tonight I voted to temporarily extend this fiscal year's funding until December 4, 2026. I've never voted to shut down the government because I know the consequences are real for Southern Arizona and my constituents deserve a government that works. This is merely a temporary solution. The work to fully fund our government services continues. As Arizona's only appropriator, I am committed to delivering a full-year funding bill through the House while continuing to deliver for Arizona's Sixth District, including bringing home more than $40 million this year in Community Project Funding for our communities, in addition to the $60 million secured in years past. Let's get this done and finish the job!"
