GOP Rep Schweikert projected to fend off Dem challenger in key Arizona House race
Fox News
Arizona's 1st Congressional District was one of the tightest House races in the country in 2022, and was expected to be another close race in 2024.
Schweikert has served in the House for nearly 15 years and has won re-election in a number of redrawn districts since being elected in 2010. He serves on the House Ways and Means Committee and has emphasized economic policy and fiscal responsibility, including tackling the increasing national debt. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Shah, a doctor and former state rep, had emerged from a packed Democratic field to secure the nomination to attempt to beat Schweikert. Arizona Central reports that Shah had success with bills getting passed in the GOP-dominated state legislature, and has been compared to outgoing Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
