AZ Votes Debate: Congressional District 6 | August 29, 2024

More from this show

Ted Simons, host and managing editor of “Arizona Horizon,” moderated a debate with two candidates running in for the House of Representatives in Congressional District 6.

Republican incumbent Juan Ciscomani and Democrat challenger Kirsten Engel joined Simons to debate the issues.

Ciscomani took office in 2022 as the fourth in a string of Republicans to hold the seat. Formerly, Ciscomani served as a senior advisor to former Governor Dough Doucey. Ciscomani was chosen to deliver the Republican response to the 2023 State of the Union Address in Spanish.

Kirsten Engel, who lost to Ciscomani in 2022, ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. Engel is a professor at the University of Arizona law school and served in the Arizona Legislature for five years.
