What they said
Apr 10, 2026
Congressman Ciscomani supports the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, stating that tax relief enables families to keep more earnings and provides businesses with certainty through provisions like research and development tax credits, which he argues strengthens local economies and supports innovation and job creation.
The statement supports the Working Families Tax Cuts Act and cites tax relief for working families and R&D tax provisions. The bill (H.R. 7024) includes child tax credit and EITC expansions for working families and R&D expensing and bonus depreciation provisions, and Rep. Ciscomani voted yes on passage, so the direction matches on the provisions the statement emphasizes. The statement does not name H.R. 7024 specifically, and the bill's Taiwan tax and other titles are not addressed, so the match is generally but not fully confirmed.

Congressman Ciscomani Champions Clean Energy Investment at Kitt Solar Project in Eloy
Position: The Congressman supports clean energy investment and federal tax incentives for solar and battery storage projects, and urged House leadership to safeguard clean energy tax incentives during debate on the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.
Eloy, AZ - Congressman Juan Ciscomani recently toured the Kitt Solar project currently under construction in Eloy, underscoring his commitment to advancing Arizona’s energy future. The Congressman highlighted the project as a model for supporting American energy production and driving economic growth in local communities across Southern Arizona, including Eloy. Once complete, Kitt Solar will deliver up to 100 megawatts of clean electricity paired with advanced battery storage, enough to power approximately 32,000 Arizona homes. The project supported nearly 500 well-paying jobs at peak construction earlier this year, while boosting business for local restaurants, markets, and small businesses throughout Eloy.
"Arizona’s energy needs are growing rapidly, and projects like Kitt Solar are essential to meeting that demand while creating good-paying jobs and attracting investment to our communities," said Congressman Juan Ciscomani. "It was inspiring to witness the progress underway in Eloy and to learn about the opportunities this project brings to local families. In Congress, I have worked to protect the incentives that make initiatives like Kitt Solar possible. We need an all-of-the-above approach that keeps energy affordable, reliable, and made in America."
Ciscomani has been a vocal advocate for protecting domestic energy production of all kinds and ensuring American businesses have the certainty to invest and expand. During the debate on the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, he signed multiple letters to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith and House leadership, urging them to safeguard clean energy tax incentives and prevent abrupt disruptions that could hinder growth.
In Congress, Ciscomani also spearheaded efforts to support American energy production and strengthen domestic manufacturing, particularly for battery storage components. His advocacy helped preserve critical incentives that benefit projects like Kitt Solar, which utilizes federal tax credits for its battery systems and the overall project. Earlier this year, the Congressman was awarded the American Energy Champion Award by the American Energy Alliance for his all-of-the-above energy approach.
"We are proud to bring the Kitt Solar project to Eloy and invest in the community and Arizona’s energy future," said Antonia Castro-Graham, Senior Vice President of Policy & Regulatory Affairs at Avantus. "We were glad to welcome Congressman Ciscomani to see firsthand the impact this project is having, from nearly 500 construction jobs to decades of local tax revenue. Kitt Solar exemplifies how clean energy investment delivers lasting benefits to local communities and helps meet the rising demand for reliable electricity."
Arizona’s continued growth relies on robust energy infrastructure to support new homes, businesses, and industries. Investments in energy generation and storage are vital to meeting these needs. Projects like Kitt Solar are expanding the resources necessary for Southern Arizona’s future and bringing new economic opportunities to communities like Eloy.

HECHO Applauds Ciscomani's Bill Establishing Chiricahua as America's 64th National Park
Position: The release supports H.R. 6380, the Chiricahua National Park Act, which redesignates Chiricahua as a national park in Arizona, and praises its bipartisan passage and the designation's ecological, cultural, recreational, and economic significance.
Tucson, AZ - A week after President Trump signed Representative Juan Ciscomani’s Chiricahua National Park Act (H.R. 6380) into law, Hispanics Enjoying Camping, Hunting, and the Outdoors (HECHO) and its Hispanic Conservation Leadership Council members are celebrating the historic designation of Chiricahua as Arizona’s fourth national park. Following nearly a decade of bipartisan collaboration, the designation recognizes the ecological, cultural, recreational, and economic significance of this unique landscape while creating new opportunities for conservation, tourism, and surrounding communities.
HECHO, an organization dedicated to ensuring Hispanic communities have a voice in public lands and conservation decisions, joined local leaders, conservation advocates, veterans, and community members in recognizing the significance of this milestone.
Their unique perspectives reflect the importance of protecting Arizona’s natural heritage while ensuring future generations can experience the beauty, history, and opportunities that Chiricahua has to offer.
"I’m so grateful for our incredible partners, including HECHO, who worked across party lines to advocate for Chiricahua’s national park designation. This decade-long effort built the momentum and garnered the federal attention needed to get this across the finish line," said Rep. Juan Ciscomani. "HECHO’s commitment to conservation and its work bringing diverse voices to the table helped demonstrate the broad, bipartisan support behind this historic designation. This achievement will preserve Arizona’s rich heritage for generations to come. As we celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary, I cannot think of a better way to honor our history and natural beauty than by welcoming Arizona’s fourth national park, and the second national park in Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District."
"This is a moment worth celebrating, not only because Chiricahua is now Arizona’s fourth national park and the enactment marks the culmination of years of work, but also because of how we got here. We are especially grateful to Congressman Juan Ciscomani for championing this effort and his leadership in bringing Chiricahua the national recognition it deserves for its ecological, cultural, recreational, and economic significance. His work, alongside Representatives Greg Stanton and Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, shows what we can accomplish when Republicans and Democrats come together around our shared public lands. At a time when our country feels deeply divided, this is a meaningful example of finding common ground for conservation." — Camilla Simon, Executive Director of HECHO
"I proudly supported the Chiricahua National Park Act, and I’m thrilled to have been part of the effort to make Chiricahua Arizona’s newest national park. As a combat veteran, I know firsthand the healing that can come from spending time on our public lands. A national park in my own backyard has given me a place to find that healing, and I’m excited for more people to have that opportunity at Chiricahua. This designation will bring so much to the surrounding communities, not only economic and recreational opportunities, but also the joy, connection and healing that these special places can provide." — Eduardo Ramos, veteran, hunter and HECHO’s Hispanic Conservation Leadership Council
"Chiricahua is one of those places you have to see with your own eyes to truly understand. Its landscape is breathtaking, and no matter how many times I visit, that feeling never changes. I had the privilege of being in Washington, D.C., advocating for Chiricahua when we learned that the bill had passed Congress, and being there for that moment was incredibly special. Now, to see what we advocated for become a reality with the President’s signature is something I’ll never forget. I’m proud that more people will have the opportunity to experience this extraordinary place." — Eddy Corona, President of Outdoor Experience 4 All and member of HECHO’s Hispanic Conservation Leadership Council
"The Chiricahuas in southeastern Arizona are a true hidden gem. Having hiked and camped there in the past, I can attest to its spectacular rock formations, incredible biodiversity, endless night skies, and abundant wildlife. This designation will boost the local economy and encourage more visitors to experience this unique landscape." — Patty Contreras, Arizona State Representative and member of HECHO’s Hispanic Conservation Leadership Council
"I’ve explored the outdoors throughout Arizona, but the Chiricahuas hold a particularly special place in my heart. I feel a deep spiritual connection to this landscape unlike anywhere else in the state. From the incredible rock formations to the abundance of wildlife, the Chiricahuas are truly one of a kind. It’s one of the few places in Arizona where I’ve been fortunate enough to encounter such a remarkable diversity of wildlife. It’s one of Arizona’s best-kept secrets, and I hope it never loses the qualities that make it so special. I’m excited about this step forward and hopeful that National Park designation will bring greater resources, and lasting protections to this extraordinary place." — Adriana Garcia Maximiliano, Hispanic Conservation Leadership Council member
"The first time I visited Chiricahua with my family, I was struck by its extraordinary beauty, rich history, and the deep significance it holds for so many Tribal communities. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be magical. As someone who has seen firsthand the benefits of having a national park near our community, I know how meaningful this designation could be for southern Arizona. It will create opportunities for local businesses, bring new tourism revenue, and strengthen the Southwest as a destination for people who come to experience our incredible public lands. But beyond the economic benefits, this is about reaffirming our commitment to conserving these special places for generations to come. National parks allow us to build a stronger economic future for our communities without sacrificing the landscapes, wildlife, and history that make them so extraordinary." — Sarah Benatar, Coconino County Treasurer
"The balancing rocks at Chiricahua make it one of the most unique and beautiful places on Earth, which is exactly why I’m thrilled to see it become Arizona’s fourth national park. This historic designation will help protect and preserve Chiricahua’s natural beauty for generations to come, while boosting tourism from around the world and growing our economy." — Arizona House Democratic Leader Oscar De Los Santos

Secretary Rollins and Representative Ciscomani attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Southwest Watershed Research Center, a new Agriculture Research Service facility in Tucson. Following the ceremony, Rollins and Ciscomani held a press conference, joined by USDA Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics, Dr. Scott Hutchins to discuss the impact this new facility will have on the agricultural community of Southern Arizona, and to highlight the Administration’s work in supporting and strengthening Arizona’s farmers and ranchers.
"I was proud to join Secretary Rollins for the ribbon cutting of this new research facility, which will make a real difference for farmers and ranchers across Southern Arizona," said Rep. Juan Ciscomani. "Secretary Rollins has been a tremendous partner in delivering results for Southern Arizona, and today’s ribbon cutting is another example of what we can accomplish when we work together with local leaders to address the needs of our communities.

Congressman Ciscomani, HUD Secretary Turner Tour Tucson’s Center of Opportunity to Address Homelessness and Housing
Position: The release supports federal and local partnerships to address homelessness, highlights a federal investment in housing assistance for young adults aging out of foster care, and backs the bipartisan FAST Housing Act and CONSTRUCTS Act to increase housing supply and address residential construction workforce shortages.
Tucson, AZ - Congressman Juan Ciscomani and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner toured Gospel Rescue Mission in Tucson today to see firsthand how local partnerships are helping individuals experiencing homelessness find stability, opportunity, and a path forward.
"Everyone deserves the opportunity to rebuild their life, find a place to call home, and pursue their own version of the American Dream. Gospel Rescue Mission is making a real difference right here in Southern Arizona by meeting people where they are and helping them build a path toward a brighter future. I’m grateful to Secretary Turner for joining me to highlight the incredible work happening in our community and bring Southern Arizona’s efforts to the national conversation. Together, we can connect local solutions with federal resources to help more Arizonans get back on their feet," said Congressman Ciscomani.
At the heart of Gospel Rescue Mission’s work is the Center of Opportunity, which brings together housing, recovery services, workforce development, healthcare access, and spiritual support under one roof. Through more than 50 community partnerships with nonprofits, churches, healthcare providers, educational institutions, employers, and social-service agencies, the mission helps individuals address the root causes of homelessness and work toward long-term stability.
"It’s great to be back in Arizona with my friend Congressman Juan Ciscomani. Today, we toured the Gospel Rescue Mission, a faith-based organization leading the way and transforming lives from homelessness to wholeness. It’s an honor to highlight their incredible results-driven work and partner with Congressman Ciscomani who is delivering for Arizona families," said Secretary Scott Turner.
During the tour, Secretary Turner highlighted HUD’s mission to help Americans find stability and opportunity, including through the Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) initiative. The program helps young adults transitioning out of foster care access housing assistance and supportive services to prevent homelessness. Turner has supported a $1.8 million investment in the initiative to assist more than 100 young Americans aging out of foster care.
Expanding access to housing also requires increasing the supply of homes and addressing the barriers that drive up costs. Ciscomani has supported the bipartisan FAST Housing Act to accelerate housing construction by reducing regulatory barriers and introduced the bipartisan CONSTRUCTS Act to address workforce shortages in residential construction. Together, these efforts reflect the importance of pairing immediate support for vulnerable populations with long-term solutions that make housing more accessible and affordable.
That same commitment to lasting solutions is reflected in Gospel Rescue Mission’s work. Through its holistic, faith-based approach and more than 50 community partnerships, the organization helps individuals move beyond crisis toward stability, independence, and a fresh start. The visit highlighted how federal initiatives, local organizations, and community partnerships can work together to address homelessness and expand housing opportunities across Southern Arizona.

Position: The release celebrates the enactment of H.R. 6380, the Chiricahua National Park Act, which redesignates Chiricahua as a national park and is presented as a conservation and economic benefit to Cochise County and Arizona's Sixth District.
Cochise County, AZ - Representative Juan Ciscomani is celebrating the passage of his Chiricahua National Park Act (H.R. 6380), which President Trump signed into law this afternoon. This effort crossed the finish line after a decade of bipartisan work. Chiricahua National Park is now Arizona’s fourth national park and the second in Arizona’s Sixth District.
"I’m incredibly proud that my Chiricahua National Park bill is officially law, establishing Arizona’s fourth national park," said Rep. Juan Ciscomani. "After nearly a decade of work, persistence has finally paid off, and this historic effort has reached the summit. I’m incredibly grateful to our local partners, whose dedication and collaboration with my office were instrumental in getting this across the finish line. This achievement will preserve Arizona’s rich heritage for generations to come. As we celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary, I cannot think of a better way to honor our history and natural beauty than by welcoming Arizona’s fourth national park, and the second national park in Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District."
To mark this milestone in both Arizona and United States history, Rep. Ciscomani was joined by U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Secretary Doug Burgum for a ceremony, remarks, and tour at Chiricahua National Park this afternoon. The celebration took place an hour after President Trump signed the bill into law.
"As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, President Trump is writing an exciting new chapter in our nation’s conservation history with the designation of Chiricahua as America’s 64th National Park," said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. "Arizona is home to some of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth, and this historic designation will introduce even more Americans to the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of southeastern Arizona while bringing new visitors, economic opportunities and investment to surrounding communities. Thanks to the leadership of Congressman Juan Ciscomani and our partners across Arizona, we’re ensuring this remarkable place can be enjoyed by Americans for generations to come."
Under the new law, the 102-year-old Chiricahua National Park joins Saguaro National Park in southern Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona, and Petrified Forest National Park in eastern Arizona. The official designation of Chiricahua as a national park is expected to attract more visitors to southeastern Arizona, boosts local tourism, support local businesses, and create new economic opportunities throughout Cochise County and Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District.
Known as the "Wonderland of Rocks," Chiricahua National Park was first established as a National Monument in 1924 and protects a breathtaking landscape that attracts visitors from across the United States. Since his first year in Congress and his second bill introduced Representative Ciscomani has made the park’s designation a top priority, working closely with bipartisan colleagues in both chambers. His relentless advocacy culminated in this historic achievement.
Local leaders across southeastern Arizona have voiced strong support for the new national park designation, recognizing its national significance.
"The Chiricahua Mountains are one of Arizona’s greatest natural treasures, and recognizing Chiricahua National Monument as a National Park is a tremendous opportunity for Cochise County and future generations. This designation will bring greater national recognition to southeastern Arizona, strengthen our local economy, and support the businesses and communities that welcome visitors to this remarkable region. I want to thank President Trump for signing this important legislation into law and Congressman Ciscomani for his leadership and dedication in making this long-awaited designation a reality," said Chairman Frank Antenori.
"The Chiricahua Mountains are an important part of Cochise County’s history, natural beauty, and identity. Designating Chiricahua as a National Park will help introduce more visitors to everything southeastern Arizona has to offer, creating new opportunities for our rural communities, small businesses, and tourism industry. I sincerely appreciate President Trump signing this legislation into law, Congressman Ciscomani’s continued efforts, and the bipartisan cooperation that helped bring this important recognition to our region," said Supervisor Kathleen Gomez.
"This is a historic day for Willcox, Cochise County, and the entire State of Arizona. The Chiricahuas are one of our nation's greatest natural treasures, and designating them as a National Park will ensure future generations can experience their extraordinary beauty. This accomplishment would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of Congressman Juan Ciscomani, Senator Mark Kelly, HECHO, and the many partners who worked together to make this a reality. We are especially grateful to President Trump for signing this legislation and recognizing the importance of protecting this remarkable landscape," said Willcox Mayor Greg Hancock.
"The designation of Chiricahua National Park represents a tremendous opportunity for Willcox and the surrounding communities. As a gateway to the Chiricahuas, Willcox is uniquely positioned to benefit from increased visitation, new business investment, and additional tourism-related jobs. This designation will strengthen our local economy, support our small businesses, and introduce more visitors to everything southeastern Arizona and Cochise County has to offer. The economic benefits of this decision will be felt for generations," said Willcox City Manager Caleb Blaschke.
"Thanks to Representative Ciscomani’s determined efforts, Arizona has a new national park that will create jobs and economic growth in the region. Chiricahua now takes its rightful place among America’s most treasured public lands and will be a bucket list destination for millions of Americans for generations to come. I congratulate Representative Ciscomani and Arizona on being home to our newest crown jewel," said Chairman Westerman.

Ciscomani Welcomes Interior Secretary Burgum to Gunnison Copper’s Johnson Camp Mine in Southern Arizona, Highlights Investments in American Copper Production
Position: The release supports expanding domestic copper and critical mineral production to reduce reliance on foreign sources and strengthen economic and national security. It also states support for mining industry advocacy in Congress.
Cochise County, AZ - In a powerful show of partnership and progress, Representative Juan Ciscomani and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum came together at Gunnison Copper’s Johnson Camp Mine on Tuesday to spotlight Southern Arizona’s leadership in American mining. The occasion featured a dedication ceremony, an in-depth tour of the copper operation, and forward-looking discussions on strengthening the nation’s future through domestic critical mineral production.
"It was a privilege to join Secretary Burgum at Gunnison Copper today to celebrate the resurgence of domestic copper production, with Arizona leading the way," said Representative Juan Ciscomani. "Copper is a vital part of Arizona’s Five C’s and an essential resource for our economy and national security. In Congress, I have championed efforts to strengthen domestic mining, expand American production, and reduce our reliance on foreign sources. I’m incredibly grateful for the continued partnership with Gunnison Copper and its valuable contributions to Arizona’s economy and America’s mineral independence."
The visit highlighted Southern Arizona’s pivotal role in restoring U.S. mineral independence. Gunnison Copper marked the event by announcing wage increases and equity stakes for employees, underscoring how investment in workers is essential to building a resilient domestic supply chain for critical minerals. The event also featured the unveiling of a monument honoring the enduring values of country, service, hard work, and shared responsibility. The monument will serve as a permanent gathering place for employees and visitors to reflect on these principles and the purpose behind their work.
"We are honored to welcome Secretary Doug Burgum and Congressman Juan Ciscomani, and we deeply appreciate Congressman Ciscomani’s strong advocacy for Arizona’s mining industry and its workers," said Craig Hallworth, President and CEO of Gunnison Copper. "Our values—People First, Innovate Boldly, Act Responsibly, Strengthen Communities and Proudly American—guide our work to advance the Gunnison Copper Project, create skilled jobs and produce American copper that strengthens our nation’s security, prosperity and industrial independence."
"Under President Trump, America is once again becoming a mineral powerhouse," said Chairman of the National Energy Dominance Council and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. "By working with industry partners and leaders like Congressman Juan Ciscomani, we’re restoring America’s mining legacy and ensuring the minerals that power our economy, national security and modern way of life are mined and processed right here at home. America’s vast mineral wealth is one of our greatest strategic advantages, and projects like the Gunnison Copper Mine are helping unlock that potential, strengthen our supply chains and secure a future of American Energy Dominance for generations to come."
Representative Ciscomani’s commitment to Arizona’s mining future is clear as he fought to secure a historic $20 million investment for the University of Arizona’s School of Mining Engineering and Mineral Resources, supporting research, workforce development, and expansion of the San Xavier Underground Mining Laboratory. Copper is the backbone of the nation’s electrical grid, defense systems, and manufacturing base, making reliable robust supply of critical minerals not just an Arizona priority, but a domestic imperative.
At Johnson Camp, Gunnison Copper is turning Arizona’s mineral potential into American-made copper. Using Nuton, an innovative bioleaching technology developed by Rio Tinto, the operation has begun producing finished copper cathode by combining mining, leaching, and production at a single Arizona site. This breakthrough demonstrates how American innovation can unlock previously uneconomical copper resources, strengthen domestic processing, and reduce dependence on foreign supply chains. The nearby Gunnison Copper Project holds more than 5 billion pounds of measured and indicated copper resources and, at full development, could supply approximately 11% of U.S. refined copper production.
The visit celebrated both Arizona’s mining heritage and its future as a leader in American industry. A color guard from the Benson Veterans of Foreign Wars and a local marching band from Cienega High School led a flag-raising ceremony featuring the flags of the United States, Arizona, and Gunnison Copper. Secretary Burgum and Representative Ciscomani also participated in a ceremonial production blast, underscoring the scale of Arizona’s mining industry and the skilled workforce driving America’s domestic mineral resurgence.

Juan Ciscomani. “I also had the opportunity to meet with my Veterans Advisory Council to hear firsthand about the challenges facing our local veteran community. I will continue bringing these priorities to Washington and fighting to ensure our veterans and their families receive the benefits, resources, and support they have earned.”
The honorees represented Cochise, Graham, Pima, and Pinal counties, with service spanning the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Each recipient received an award certificate and challenge coin. Additionally, Vietnam War veterans also received a Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin in recognition of their service.

Ciscomani Touts $900,000 for Pima Community College STEM Education
Position: The release touts $900,000 in federal appropriations for Pima Community College's Project Catalyst to modernize STEM and business facilities and expand workforce training programs. It also references prior and proposed funding for Pima JTED workforce centers.
TUCSON — Representative Juan Ciscomani returned to his alma mater, Pima Community College, today to spotlight his leadership in preliminarily securing $900,000 in federal funding aimed at expanding workforce training and preparing Pima County students for in-demand STEM careers.
As a first-generation college graduate, Ciscomani understands the transformative power of education. Now serving as Arizona’s sole representative on the House Appropriations Committee, he is dedicated to directing critical federal resources to local institutions like Pima Community College, ensuring students today can access the same life-changing opportunities he experienced.
“Pima Community College helped open doors for me, and I want to make sure the next generation has those same opportunities,” said Rep. Ciscomani. “As Arizona’s sole Appropriator, I’m fighting to deliver $900,000 for Project Catalyst to modernize facilities, expand access to STEM and business programs to better prepare students for the jobs that will drive Arizona’s economy forward. Every single investment I fight for in Congress is targeted where it will have the most impact and help Southern Arizona build the workforce it needs for the future.”
Leaders at Pima Community College are applauding Congressman Ciscomani’s efforts to champion federal investment in workforce initiatives.
"Pima Community College was honored to give Congressman Ciscomani a first-hand view of how the funds he secured will be used to teach our STEM students the skills they need succeed," said Dr. Jeffrey Nasse chancellor of Pima Community College. "Because of the congressman’s position on the House Appropriations Committee, the college's Project Catalyst will be able to use these dollars to support our continuing effort to keep our workforce programs in STEM--including pre-engineering--and business fields up to date and relevant to rapidly changing workforce needs in these fields."
The $900,000 in federal funding would support Project Catalyst, an innovative, industry-driven initiative at Pima Community College designed to strengthen workforce development and drive economic opportunity across the region. This investment will modernize engineering instructional facilities and create flexible HyFlex-enabled classrooms, increasing access to high-demand STEM and business programs. By aligning coursework with current industry needs, Project Catalyst will give students the skills they need to excel in competitive careers, while contributing to Arizona’s long-term economic growth.
This latest effort builds on his ongoing commitment to expanding workforce training opportunities throughout Southern Arizona. In 2024, he secured $2.7 million in federal funding for Pima JTED’s new 50,000-square-foot workforce development center, and he is now advocating for an additional $3 million to support the JTED Workforce Training Center for Technological Innovation. Together, these investments total $5.7 million, expanding hands-on training and preparing local students for high-demand careers.
As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Representative Ciscomani continues to leverage his leadership to connect students across Arizona’s Sixth District with pathways to in-demand careers. These efforts are helping local employers find skilled workers and ensuring Southern Arizona’s workforce remains competitive for years to come.
