WASHINGTON — Congressman Juan Ciscomani today took the oath of office as the next member of the House of Representatives from Arizona’s 6th Congressional District.

With his swearing in, Congressman Ciscomani becomes the first naturalized American from Mexico to Represent Arizona in Congress.

“I am humbled and proud to be able to represent my community in the United States House of Representatives,” said Congressman Ciscomani. “I grew up in this district, it’s where Laura and I are raising our 6 kids, and where we are living our American Dream. I’m excited for this opportunity and look forward to hitting the ground running to get results for the people of our district.”

Looking on as Congressman Ciscomani swore to protect and defend the constitution were his wife, Laura, and their six children: Zoe, Juan David, Kenny, Lily, Lucas, and Gloria.
