U.S. House

Arizona 1st Congressional District — 2026

Arizona’s 1st District (northeast Phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and nearby communities) elects a U.S. representative on November 3, 2026. Democrat Amish Shah faces Republican Jay Feely. Ballotpedia also lists a Libertarian candidate.

What this office is

Each U.S. House district elects one representative for a two-year term. Your district is assigned by official maps and your registered address — not by opening a page on this site. The House originates revenue bills, shares lawmaking with the Senate, and can impeach federal officers. All 435 voting seats are on the ballot in 2026.

Why it matters in 2026

Ballotpedia News (July 29, 2026) reported that major forecasters rated the open seat Lean Democratic or a toss-up. The district voted for Schweikert and Trump in 2024 while also supporting Democrat Ruben Gallego for Senate. Your address — not this page — determines whether AZ-01 appears on your ballot.

The seat is open. Rep. David Schweikert ran for governor instead of seeking another House term.

Confirm the district number with the Arizona Secretary of State or your county recorder before treating this page as your race.
