Event Summary

United States — Arizona Republicans are holding primary elections on Tuesday to select nominees for governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and several congressional seats. The race for governor features U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs and David Schweikert, with Biggs endorsed by Donald Trump and supported by Turning Point Action. Schweikert emphasizes his pro-business, fiscal conservatism. The 1st Congressional District primary is also hotly contested, with former United States — Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely (endorsed by Trump) facing Joseph Chaplik and 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Arizona. The United States — Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has endorsed Grant Woods (attorney) in the Democratic primary for that seat. Other notable primaries include the safe Republican seat vacated by Biggs, where former Sheriff Mark Lamb (endorsed by Trump) faces Daniel F. Keenan after being cleared of sexual misconduct allegations. The general election will feature Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, considered the most endangered Democratic governor, against the Republican nominee.
