The vote counting took a few days, but Arizona’s primary results in 3 critical toss-up races are in!
Progressive Democrat Ruben Gallego officially enters the general election for U.S. Senate against Republican Kari Lake. Ruben has a long history of defending democracy and fighting for progressive causes -- and a proven track record of electability in Arizona. Kari Lake is a right-wing, election-denying extremist who supports a near-total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. (Donate to Ruben Gallego here.)
In Arizona’s 1st Congressional District, Dr. Amish Shah will take on vulnerable Republican Congressman David Schweikert, whose margins have been shrinking in recent elections. In 2022, Schweikert squeaked in by less than 1% -- and Biden won this district in 2020. Cook Political Report rates this race a toss-up. (Donate to Amish Shah here.)
In Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, Democrat Kirsten Engel and Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani head to a rematch of their 2022 face-off, which the Republican won by less than 1%. Politico calls this race "one of the most competitive House seats this year." (Donate to Kirsten Engel here.)
NPR reports, "Control of Congress could run through Arizona." Each of these races will factor heavily into which party controls Congress. And each of these campaigns voter turnout programs will be critical for the presidential election. Biden won Arizona in 2020 by less than 11,000 votes!
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
