In Break from Past Statements, Ciscomani Silent As Gas Prices, Inflation Rise

TUCSON — Despite complaints about high gas prices in years past, Congressman Juan Ciscomani has been silent over the last two months as the Iran war that he voted for has driven inflation and gas prices higher and higher.

The average Arizona gas price today is $4.82 with some counties like Maricopa being much higher. Congressman Ciscomani voted in favor of the war with Iran that started in February and led to higher gas prices.

According to NOTUS: 

"The same party that spent years pinning every penny increase at the pump on former President Joe Biden is now scrambling to explain why prices have surged to their highest level in years.

Not all Republicans have been so vocal in their reversal, with some just simply going silent.

Rep. Juan Ciscomani, who ran ads warning that “food, gas, medicine, it all costs more,” in 2024 has said essentially nothing about gas prices since the war began."

“Congressman Ciscomani pays lip service to high prices when he thinks it will benefit him politically, but his voting record drives prices higher for Arizonans,” said Andrea Moreno, Executive Director of Honest Arizona. “It's time for Congressman Ciscomani to start putting the interests of Arizonans first and stop voting to make life more expensive for Arizonans.”
