Rep. Ciscomani Stands Strong for Trump-Supporting Women After Mark Cuban’s Dismissive Remarks

By Daniel Stefanski |

In the final days of the 2024 General Election, Congressman Juan Ciscomani of southern Arizona addressed derogatory remarks made by Mark Cuban, a supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Recently, Cuban appeared on “The View” and sparked controversy by asserting, “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever.”

In response, Ciscomani shared a photo featuring several strong women from his life, including his wife and daughter. He wrote, “Proud to have strong and intelligent women supporting our campaign and defending this seat. I was raised by a strong woman, am married to a strong woman, and honored to have the support of strong women!”

Ciscomani’s wife, Laura, further countered Cuban’s comments, highlighting her academic achievements. She stated, “First woman in my family to obtain higher ed, graduated from Stanford with high honors, and I have a master’s degree too. By the way, I can deadlift more than what Mark Cuban weighs.”

This election marks a rematch for Ciscomani against Democrat Kirsten Engel, following his narrow victory of fewer than 6,000 votes in the 2022 election. As he campaigns for reelection, Ciscomani has garnered endorsements from a range of local and national organizations. Notable supporters include the Tucson Police Officers Association, the National Border Patrol Council, and several Arizona mayors.

The outcome of this race for Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District is poised to influence the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives in the upcoming 119th Congress. As both candidates intensify their efforts, the stakes remain high for the control of the chamber.
