Issue record
In short
Mendoza's campaign would protect groundwater and Arizona's Colorado River share, clean up PFAS chemicals and support clean energy. Ciscomani's campaign points to water-infrastructure funding for the district. No campaign site or position was found for Peters; Swing's campaign calls for moving from fossil fuels and nuclear power to renewables. Spending laws list Ciscomani as House requester of eight water projects totaling about $11.8 million; that is money set aside, not work done.

Evidence timeline
campaign position
Interior adopted 2027–2028 operating guidelines; the record does not establish his personal causal role, and Arizona’s share depends on implementing agreements.
In the September 10 debate, Ciscomani said Arizona advanced a water proposal through his White House relationship and that it had been accepted for the next two years, buying time for a longer-term solution. Interior announced final operating guidelines for 2027 and 2028 on August 21, 2026 within a 2027–2036 decision framework. The guidelines incorporate concepts from Upper and Lower Basin proposals and Basin tribes. They provide for 1.25 million acre-feet in annual Lower Basin delivery reductions in each of those two years; the stated Arizona share is 760,000 acre-feet if the Lower Basin implementing agreement is in place. Why there is no verdict: Federal adoption for two operating years is supported. The exact state proposal and claimed personal route to acceptance remain unverified. Limit: The two-year federal approach is documented, rather than a long-term settlement or an elimination of Arizona cuts. The public decision does not identify the exact Arizona proposal he meant or independently establish his White House relationship as the causal route. It credits multiple contributors; the debate does not claim Arizona exclusively supplied every provision. Conditional state shares must not be described as unconditional.
official action
Spending laws in 2024 and 2026 list him as House requester of eight water projects totaling about $11.8 million; the lists show money set aside, not work done.
His campaign says he works to bring tax dollars back to Arizona for things like roads, schools and water infrastructure. The project lists filed with the spending laws name him as House requester of eight water projects, $11,786,786 in all. In the 2024 law (Public Law 118-42, signed March 9, 2024): $1,250,000 to expand Tucson Water's recharge, $2,250,000 for a Tucson Water well and PFAS removal plant, $1,823,000 for a CAIDD drought-resiliency water project, and $274,000 from the rural water and wastewater grant account for drainage work in Duncan. In the 2026 law (Public Law 119-74, signed January 23, 2026): $989,786 for Tombstone's water reclamation plant, $1,200,000 for a Graham County water line, and $1,750,000 for PFAS treatment and $2,250,000 for source-water work in Marana. Limit: These eight are among the 28 projects on his community-projects card. Sen. Sinema also asked for all four 2024 projects and Sen. Kelly for three. The lists show money set aside, not work done.
official action
He voted Yea on the January 2026 H.R. 131 override. It was a Colorado conduit repayment bill, and the 248-177 vote failed to reach two-thirds.
In the September 10 Clean Elections Commission debate, Ciscomani said he was among the Republicans who voted to override a presidential veto of a water bill, describing it as authorizing new infrastructure in the western United States. The Clerk records Ciscomani voting Yea on January 8, 2026 to pass H.R. 131 over the President's veto (Roll Call 9). He was one of 35 Republican Yeas. The tally was 248-177, with one Present; it failed to reach the required two-thirds. The Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act changed repayment terms for a Colorado water conduit, including a longer repayment period and reduced simple interest for hardship. It had passed both chambers by voice vote before the December 29 veto and has not become law. Limit: This confirms a vote to override, not a successful override. The bill addressed repayment for a Colorado conduit, not a new Arizona water project. The vote does not establish his claimed personal courage or a complete record of independence from his party. His introductory infrastructure description is broader than the enrolled bill’s mechanism: repayment changes for an already authorized project. His full answer claimed a vote to override, rather than that the override succeeded.
