Amish Shah (D), Jay Feely (R), and Monica Alponte (L) are running in the general election for Arizona's 1st Congressional District on November 3, 2026.
Incumbent David Schweikert (R), first elected in 2010, ran for governor rather than seeking re-election. Local radio station KJZZ's Wayne Schutsky and Camryn Sanchez said, "Schweikert held the seat for 15 years, but Democrats have come closer and closer to flipping the seat blue in recent elections. In 2024, CD1 residents voted for Schweikert and President Trump, but also favored Democrat Ruben Gallego in the race for U.S. Senate." As of July 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Lean Democratic or Toss-up.
Schweikert won re-election 50.4%–49.6% in 2022. In 2024, Schweikert defeated Shah 51.9%–48.1% and Donald Trump (R) defeated Kamala Harris (D) 51.1%–48.0% in the 1st District.
