急诊医生Amish Shah在亚利桑那州第1国会选区民主党初选中胜出1,战胜了民主党国会竞选委员会(DCCC)支持的前共和党人Marlene Galán-Woods1。这一结果反映出选民对华盛顿党派领导层偏好的直接抵触。
Shah在回应自己非党派领导层首选时表示:"我不正是我党的选择。"1 一位24岁的医学生志愿者Maria Liong评价称:"民主党需要成长,需要清醒。"1
该选区涵盖菲尼克斯东北部、斯科茨代尔、喷泉山和天堂谷1。在秋季大选中,Shah将对阵共和党候选人、前NFL踢球员Jay Feely1。Feely在共和党初选中战胜了Joseph Chaplik1,并获得特朗普的支持1。
有趣的是,Shah和Feely都曾效力于纽约喷气队,其中2008-2009赛季两人在队中重叠1。Feely在NFL效力长达14个赛季1,其中2010-2013年效力亚利桑那红雀队1。
Emergency room physician Amish Shah secured the Democratic nomination for Arizona's 1st Congressional District on Wednesday, defeating the candidate backed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee 1. His victory over Marlene Galán-Woods, a former Republican, signals voter resistance to Washington party leadership's preferred choices 1.
Shah will face Republican nominee Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker who won his party's primary with backing from Donald Trump 1. Feely prevailed over Joseph Chaplik in the Republican race 1. The 1st District encompasses northeastern Phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and Paradise Valley 1.
Reflecting on his primary triumph, Shah stated, "I wasn't exactly my party's pick" 1. One 24-year-old medical student volunteer supporting his campaign expressed broader frustration, saying, "The Democratic Party needs to grow up and wake up" 1.
An unusual connection links the two general election opponents: both Shah and Feely played for the New York Jets, with their tenures overlapping during the 2008-2009 season 1. Feely spent 14 seasons in the NFL, including four years with the Arizona Cardinals from 2010 to 2013 1.
