Summary
Arizona’s primary elections are heating up with high stakes for the governor’s race and key congressional seats, setting the stage for 2028 presidential politics. Republicans are eyeing a historic governorship flip, with four GOP contenders—Andy Biggs (endorsed by Trump), David Schweikert, Ken Miceli, and Scott Neely—competing to challenge Governor Katie Hobbs. In the First District, former NFL kicker Jay Feely joins the GOP race after Trump’s push, while Democrats Amish Shah and Marlene Galán-Woods battle again for the same seat. In the Sixth District, Juan Ciscomani faces no opposition against Democrat JoAnna Mendoza. All 30 state Senate and 60 state House seats are on the ballot, with Republicans holding slim majorities and Democrats last controlling the legislature in 1992. Polls close at 7 PM local / 10 PM Eastern, with results expected after 11 PM Eastern. Independent voters can choose a party, and automatic recounts occur if margins are under half a percent. This is a pivotal day shaping Arizona’s political future for years to come. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
