The tea ☕
- A May 2026 TV report found Ciscomani took nearly $40,000 in campaign money from two fellow Republican congressmen tied to misconduct allegations. The report raised questions about whether he would keep the money, and no answer was reported.
- The race got personal in the ads. Ciscomani ran spots titled Too Extreme and Toxic about Mendoza, and Mendoza's campaign called Ciscomani spineless over his votes on costs and health care.
