Additionally, he introduced and saw passed the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Buy-in Programs Act (H.R. 1598) to support disabled, working individuals.

“I have been clear: my support for a temporary extension must be accompanied by real common-sense reforms. Tackling the fraud and abuse that are part of the program is not an option — it is a requirement. The three-year extension proposed by the Democrat leader does nothing for families struggling with rising health care costs, quite the opposite. It keeps the status quo and that’s not acceptable.” — Juan Ciscomani, statement to KJZZ, January 9, 2026.”

Ciscomani also voted "Yea" on the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act and the Don't Mess With My Home Appliances Act.

““In Arizona, water is our most precious resource. As the drought worsens in the West, it is now more important than ever that impacted communities have the necessary tools to secure federal dollars for critical multi-benefit water infrastructure projects,” said Ciscomani. “I am proud to have worked with a bipartisan, bicameral group of my colleagues on this legislation that will create a community navigator position through the Bureau of Reclamation to assist our constituents that need it the most in funding their water conservation efforts.” (Juan Ciscomani, pettersen.house.gov, February 6, 2026)”

“"The trafficking of guns between the U.S. and Mexico fuels cartels and other criminal organizations that threaten the security of both our nations," said Ciscomani, who represents a district on the U.S. - Mexico border. "In 2021, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimated that 200,000 firearms were smuggled from the U.S. each year and issued eight recommendations to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to tackle this challenge.
