Juan Ciscomani remembers walking the halls of the Capitol as a summer intern in 2003. Now a congressman himself, he feels a connection with his late boss.
“If you think about it, Ed Pastor was the first Hispanic member of Congress from Arizona. I’m the first Mexican immigrant,” Ciscomani says.
After a fellowship with another Democratic member, Loretta Sanchez, he served as a senior adviser to a politician of his own party, Doug Ducey, then the Republican governor of Arizona.
