Republican Rep. David Schweikert faced Democratic challenger Amish Shah in the election while seeking his eighth term representing a district that includes the key swing areas of Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Schweikert narrowly won reelection in 2022 in the traditionally Republican district by less than 3,200 votes.
Schweikert, who has established himself as a conservative lawmaker, has also become known for his passion for financial and tax issues. His policies remained popular with fellow Republicans as the economy remained at the top of voters’ minds around the U.S.
The Cook Political Report called Arizona-1 one of 25 toss-up races around the country that could help determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
