This includes $8 million that Ciscomani provisionally secured for water resources and infrastructure in Arizona\u2019s 6th District. The Interior and Environment package is the fifth FY25 appropriations bill to pass the U.S. House of Representatives thus far.\n\n\u201cAs Arizona\u2019s only House appropriator, my top priority is to ensure our federal government is spending your tax dollars wisely while fighting for the needs of our district,\u201d said Ciscomani. \u201cAs Arizona leads the nation in water conservation, these funds will build upon our district\u2019s sustainability efforts and fulfill critical water infrastructure needs. I am excited to see these funds pass the House floor and will continue to advocate and get them across the finish line.\u201d\n\nCongressman Ciscomani worked to secure the following funds through Community Project Funding requests:\n\n$989,786 for the City of Tombstone for their water reclamation facility: With this funding, the City of Tombstone will be able to replace aging and outdated equipment at their 50-year-old reclamation facility.\n\n$2.25 million for Town of Marana for Source Water System Improvements at the Marana Regional Airport: This funding will be used to improve source water systems at the Marana Regional Airport to reduce groundwater loss and help aquifers recover.\n\n$1.75 million for the Town of Marana for the Pioneer Well PFAS Treatment Project: The town of Marana will use these dollars to design and construct a new groundwater treatment facility.\n\n$1.75 million for City of Tucson for Tucson Water\u2019s Northwest Reclaimed System Augmentation Project: This money will allow Tucson Water to connect two reclamation facilities in the area, maximizing the city\u2019s retention and reuse of the local water supply.\n\n$1.2 million for Graham County for a multi-municipality sewer treatment Project: This money will be used to replace 40-year-old aging waterlines throughout the county.\n\nEarlier this month, following the package\u2019s passage through the House Appropriations Committee, project stakeholders applauded Ciscomani\u2019s work to secure these funds.\n\n\u201cAs Mayor of Tombstone, Arizona, I want to thank Congressman Ciscomani for his efforts in securing $989,786 for a rebuild of our over 50-year-old Water Reclamation Facility,\u201d said Tombstone Mayor Dustin Escapule. \u201cThis critical upgrade is vital for the health and well-being of our community and the half-million tourists who visit us each year. These improvements will cut the daily maintenance costs and help the operators maintain a safe and efficient plant.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Town of Marana is grateful for Congressman Juan Ciscomani\u2019s efforts in securing funding for vital projects in Arizona\u2019s 6th District, including $4 million allocated to Marana for the Source Water System Improvements at the Marana Regional Airport Project and the Pioneer Well PFAS Treatment Project, both of which will significantly enhance our water infrastructure and sustainability,\u201d said Town of Marana Mayor Ed Honea. \u201cThis funding is a testament to Congressman Ciscomani\u2019s dedication to our community\u2019s growth and resilience.\u201d\n\n\u201cThank you to Congressman Juan Ciscomani for helping us ensure our region has a safe, clean, secure water supply,\u201d said Tucson Mayor Regina Romero. \u201cTucsonans are known for our conservation ethic: We know that every drop of water is a valuable resource in the desert. Through the Northwest Reclaimed System Project, we will be able to keep more of our recycled water to continue building our water security for Tucsonans to thrive.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am grateful to Congressman Ciscomani for his support of the Northwest Reclaimed System Project,\u201d said Tucson City Manager Tim Thomure. \u201cThis innovative system will help the City of Tucson maximize our use of recycled water, which is critical for Tucson and our entire region. Residents can rest assured the City of Tucson and Congressional partners are doing all we can to secure the City\u2019s water future.\u201d\n\n\"Your dedication to rural Arizona and Graham County is something we have not seen for quite some time and has certainly not gone unnoticed,\u201d said Chairman of the Board of Supervisors John Howard. \u201cThe funding for this project will benefit the entire community and the improvement to our parks and fairground will be something we as a county and you as our Congressman will be forever proud of, thank you.\u201d\n\nIn total, Ciscomani initially secured $34 million for 15 projects in all five counties in the district in FY25. In FY24, he brought home $26 million for Arizona\u2019s 6th District. Should the funds for FY25 be signed into law, the Congressman will have delivered $60 million during his freshman term in Congress. He is the only member of the Arizona congressional delegation on the House Appropriations Committee.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://ciscomani.house.gov/media/press-releases/ciscomani-celebrates-house-passage-fy25-interior-and-environment"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5673681627959013, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
