Andy Biggs leads Republican pack as Arizona voters head to the polls for primary elections on Tuesday.
Arizona voters will head to the polls Tuesday to participate in primary elections that will shape the state's political landscape. The races are particularly significant as the state remains a key battleground, having flipped to President Trump in 2024 after a period of Democratic leadership. A major focus of the primary is the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Andy Biggs, a longtime Trump loyalist and former House Freedom Caucus chair, is the frontrunner to challenge Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs. Biggs holds the endorsement of President Trump and Turning Point USA. He faces competition from David Schweikert, who is seeking to replace himself in a key congressional swing district. Down-ballot, the primary will test the influence of President Trump's endorsements in several races. In the 1st Congressional District, Jay Feely is seeking the GOP nomination with the president's backing. In the 5th District, former Sheriff Mark Lamb is also seeking a Trump endorsement to secure a safe Republican seat. These primaries will determine the final candidates facing off in the general election.
