Arizona's 2026 congressional race faces significant shifts in key districts
In short: The upcoming November 3, 2026, elections in Arizona will determine nine U.S. representatives. With several incumbents shifting their focus toward gubernatorial races, the political landscape is shifting, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle across the state's diverse congressional districts.
The 2026 elections in Arizona are scheduled for November 3, following primary elections held on July 21, 2026. These contests will decide the nine representatives for the state's congressional districts and will coincide with U.S. Senate and various state and local elections.
Several key incumbents are altering the political map by seeking different offices. In the 1st district, Republican David Schweikert, who secured 51.9% of the vote in 2024, withdrew from his reelection bid in September 2025 to run for governor. Similarly, Republican Andy Biggs, who won 60.4% of the vote in 2024 in the 5th district, is also retiring from the House to pursue the governorship.
The districts reflect Arizona's demographic and political diversity. The 3rd district, centered in downtown and western Phoenix, is majority-Latino and was held by Democrat Yassamin Ansari, who received 70.9% of the vote in 2024. The 4th district, covering Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler, saw Democrat Greg Stanton reelected with 52.7% of the vote in 2024. Meanwhile, the 2nd district, which includes Prescott, Flagstaff, and parts of the Navajo Nation, is held by Republican Eli Crane, who won 54.5% of the vote in 2024.
The race features a variety of backgrounds, from former professional athletes like Jay Feely and Danica Patrick to military veterans and state legislators. These elections will serve as a critical test for the state's political leadership as the 2026 cycle progresses.
