The Associated Press projected Amish Shah to win Arizona’s 1st District Democratic primary, setting up a general-election race against Republican nominee Jay Feely. The article also reports that Shah defeated party-backed candidate Marlene Galán-Woods and that Feely won the Republican primary.
The Associated Press projected that Shah would face Feely in the general election for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. Shah defeated Galán-Woods, who had the backing of the national Democratic Party. The district, which includes Scottsdale and areas northeast of the city, is described as one of the country’s most competitive House races.
Feely defeated former state lawmaker Joseph Chaplik in the Republican primary. The article also recounts that President Donald Trump endorsed Feely, and that Gina Swoboda dropped out of the district race to run for Arizona secretary of state.
