Biographical Info:

Juan grew up right here in Arizona’s 6th congressional district, and has dedicated his career to our community.

As a first generation American, Juan’s love of country and patriotism were born out of his upbringing in a working-class family. His parents instilled in him conservative values, a strong work ethic, and an optimistic can-do attitude.

Juan was the first from his family to achieve a higher education, graduating from Pima Community College and the University of Arizona – earning scholarships to pay for college.

Whether it was advocating for lower taxes and lighter regulations on behalf of small business owners to the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, or leading efforts around border security and international trade for the state of Arizona – Juan’s professional career has been focused on making life better in Arizona.

In 2022, Juan was elected to represent us in the United States Congress – becoming the first naturalized American citizen from Mexico elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in Arizona’s history.

As a member of both the Appropriations and Veterans’ Affairs committees, Juan has fiercely fought for common sense policies on our behalf.

Juan and Laura value faith, life and family as the proud parents of six active kids: Zoe, Juan IV, Kenneth, Lily, Lucas and Gloria, who they are raising in Tucson. Juan’s favorite activities include coaching his kids’ flag football teams and also volunteering in his church.

Statement:

I’m running for reelection in Arizona’s 6th Congressional district to continue representing the community that raised me and to fight for our community’s interests in Congress. As a first generation American, I appreciate all that our nation has to offer and I want to ensure the American Dream is there for the next generation. Throughout my time in office, I have worked tirelessly to deliver results for our district – from securing millions of dollars as a member of the House Appropriations Committee to advocating for our Veterans to fighting to secure our border. As a dad, husband and lifelong member of this community, I’ll never stop fighting for our values, our community and for everyone to have a real shot at the American Dream.
