Congressman Juan Ciscomani, representing Arizona's 6th district, has been actively addressing various issues through his recent social media posts. His focus spans from healthcare and youth support to domestic production of critical minerals.

On December 4, 2024, Congressman Ciscomani highlighted the challenges faced by rural pharmacies in his district due to the practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). He stated: "Local pharmacies are critical to rural communities in #AZ06. Due to the practices of PBMs, #AZ06 has seen two rural pharmacies close. Proud to join @RepBuddyCarter, colleagues, and Monique from Arizona to call for PBM reform."

Later that day, on December 4, 2024, he shared insights from a conversation with Denise Watters, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Tucson. He remarked: "Great to chat with Denise Watters, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Tucson! We talked about the critical role they play supporting youth in #AZ06, contributing to their academic success, supporting after-school programs, workforce readiness, and emotional well-being!"

On December 5, 2024, Congressman Ciscomani discussed his legislative efforts regarding domestic mineral production. He expressed satisfaction over a bill he sponsored passing the House: "This is yet another reason why we need to prioritize domestic production of critical minerals, which my bill H.R. 8446, the Critical Mineral Consistency Act does. Glad to see my bill pass the House and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to act!"
