Arizona Democratic Party Chair Talks To Spanish Radio Station La Onda About Juan Ciscomani’s Failures

Last Friday, the chair of the Arizona Democratic Party, Yolanda Bejarano, gave an interview to Noticias Sobre La Mesa on Radio La Onda where she talked about last week's debate between Kirsten Engel and MAGA Republican Juan Ciscomani.

You can listen to the interview (in Spanish) in its entirety here.

The following excerpts have been translated from Spanish.

About Kirsten Engel and the congressional race:

• "What we saw is a leader in Kirsten Engel who wants to bring more rights, more protections for Arizonans."

• "[Ciscomani] knows that we are going to win this time because we have a strong campaign, we have a strong candidate and he, on the other hand, spent his time telling a lot of lies."

On Juan Ciscomani's role in a Christian-nationalist organization:

• "This is an extremist organization that wants to change our Constitution and wants to ban all abortions without exception for rape or incest."

On the topic of immigration:

• "There was a bipartisan deal put forward that Juan Ciscomani got in the way of."

• "This bipartisan agreement to secure our border would have sent millions of dollars to help border cities, towns affected by the increase we are seeing in asylum seekers. It was also going to add thousands of border patrol agents, and advanced technology to detect drugs like fentanyl that affect many people at entry points on the southwest border."

• "But he opposed this proposal because Donald Trump told Republicans to oppose it, that it wouldn't help him win."

• "[Ciscomani] doesn't want a solution. They believe that playing political games with our border will help them win. Juan Ciscomani does not want solutions, he has no solution for the problem at the border."
