Take Action Arizona
AZ-01 (Open), AZ-06 (Ciscomani - R)
Arizona’s nine congressional districts will see Democratic challenges to five Republican incumbents. Now that current Republican Representative David Schweikert is running for governor, AZ-01 is an open seat. One other seat held by a Republican is also considered vulnerable based on Cook Report ratings – AZ-06.
AZ-01 is deemed one of the most competitive races in the country. This race undoubtedly will attract big money and has drawn considerable interest from Democrats, including Dr. Amish Shah, former Arizona state representative and Jonathan Treble, a small business founder who is pro union. In AZ-06, Republican Juan Ciscomani won by a 2.5% margin in 2024, but Democrats are already lining up to challenge him, including JoAnna Mendoza, Army and Marine veteran who did did two tours in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan. Ciscomani's hypocrisy – he said he supported continuing to fund Medicaid but still voted for the GOP budget bill. Cook rates the race as a tossup.
