Amish Shah Wins Arizona Democratic Primary Again, Eyes Historic November Race

Shah defeated his primary opponents with a decisive margin, according to unofficial results. The race drew attention as a rematch of the 2022 primary, which Shah also won before losing the general election to Republican incumbent David Schweikert.

The district, which covers parts of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, is considered a key battleground in the fight for control of the House. Schweikert has held the seat since 2011, but redistricting has made the district more competitive in recent cycles.

Shah, a former emergency room physician and Arizona state representative, campaigned on healthcare access and economic issues. He emphasized his record of bipartisanship in the state legislature while criticizing Schweikert's voting record on prescription drug pricing and infrastructure.

The general election in November will be a rematch between Shah and Schweikert. National Democrats have targeted the district as a pickup opportunity, while Republicans aim to hold the seat to maintain their narrow majority.
