So far, he has brought in over $33 million in funding to southern Webb County.

A strong advocate for the elderly, Sciaraffa secured over $1.1 million funding for indigent healthcare so that the most vulnerable members of the community could get the service they need. Commissioner Sciaraffa also serves on 15 different boards and commissions, most notably, as the Chairman of the South Texas Development Council and Vice-Chairman of the Border Area Nutrition Council.
