亚利桑那州第一国会选区的政治格局正经历深刻转变，该选区曾是共和党的稳固阵地，目前呈现向民主党倾斜的趋势 1。随着现任议员大卫·施韦克特（David Schweikert）决定不寻求第九个任期，这一原本由共和党掌控的席位变得竞争激烈 1。库克政治报告（Cook Political Report）已将该席位的选举评级从“势均力敌”（toss-up）调整为“倾向民主党”（leans Democrat）1。
本次选举定于11月3日举行，最终结果可能直接影响美国众议院的控制权归属 1。共和党候选人杰伊·菲利（Jay Feely）作为前NFL踢球手，获得了特朗普的支持 1。然而，数据显示特朗普在该区的影响力正在减弱：2024年他在该区的获胜优势仅为3%，远低于其在全州5.5%的平均优势；而在2020年大选中，乔·拜登在该区仅以微弱差距领先特朗普 1。此外，在2024年的共和党初选中，尼基·黑利（Nikki Haley）在该区获得了近25%的选票 1。
民主党候选人阿米什·沙阿（Amish Shah）是一名急诊医生，曾在2024年大选中险败于现任议员，此次他试图争取独立派选民及不满特朗普政策的温和派共和党人的支持 1。沙阿不仅获得了前众议院议长拉斯蒂·鲍尔斯（Rusty Bowers）的背书，还得到了小型初创政党“无标签党”（No Labels）的支持，该党要求候选人签署维护宪法的誓言 1。堕胎权被视为关键议题，两年前该区有64.8%的选民投票支持保障堕胎权的州公投，而倡导组织“为所有人提供生殖自由”（Reproductive Freedom for All）已向反菲利宣传活动投入了六位数的资金 1。
亚利桑那州第一选区中位收入达到102,000美元，居民中33%拥有学士学位，22%拥有高级学位 1。
Arizona’s first congressional district, historically a Republican stronghold, is experiencing a significant political realignment ahead of the November 3 elections 1. The Cook Political Report has changed its rating for the race from "toss-up" to "leans Democrat," reflecting a shift that could impact control of the House of Representatives 1. This change is driven by demographic factors and voter sentiment, with the district boasting a median household income of $102,000 and a highly educated population: 33% of residents hold a bachelor’s degree and 22% possess an advanced degree 1. While former President Donald Trump won the district in the 2024 election, his margin was just 3%, significantly narrower than his 5.5% statewide advantage, whereas Joe Biden had previously secured only a slight tilt in the area during the 2020 election 1. Additionally, former Ambassador Nikki Haley captured nearly 25% of the vote in the district’s 2024 primary, indicating substantial dissatisfaction among Republicans 1.
The open seat follows incumbent Representative David Schweikert’s decision not to seek a ninth term 1. The contest features Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker backed by Trump, facing Amish Shah, an emergency room physician who narrowly lost to Schweikert in 2024 1. Shah has secured endorsements from former House Speaker Rusty Bowers and the No Labels party, which required him to sign a pledge to uphold the Constitution 1. Abortion rights remain a critical issue in the district, where 64.8% of voters supported a state referendum protecting abortion access two years ago 1. In response, the Reproductive Freedom for All organization has invested six-figure sums in advertising campaigns opposing Feely 1.
