Senate (Open), AZ-01 (Flip - Schweikert), AZ-06 (Flip - Ciscomani)

The decision of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to leave after her term expires has opened the field for Democrat Ruben Gallego. Gallego, who represents Arizona’s 3rd Congressional district in Congress, leads the field of Democratic candidates against election-loser but high-profile Republican Kari Lake.

In the House races, AZ-01 and AZ-06 are ripe for flips. In AZ-01, Conor O’Callaghan and Andrei Cherny lead the six Democrats in campaign donations. In AZ-06, environmental attorney and former State Senator Kirsten Engel. D, is mounting a strong campaign for the seat. The primary is July 30.

A state that turned purple when it delivered its 11 electoral votes to Biden-Harris in 2020, Arizona is fueled by blue energy at every level. The overturning of the 1864 abortion ban law was a big first step. Abortion rights activists say they’re collected more than enough signatures to put the issue on the November ballot. In the state legislature, just two additional Democratic wins in the state House and two in the state Senate will claim the majority

Arizona boasts two of the fastest growing state legislative districts in the country. Most newcomers are young, professional, and Democratic. Meanwhile, AZ State Attorney General Kris Mayes’ investigation of the 2020 fake electors tied to Trump has led to Grand Jury charges.

Kari Lake, the failed gubernatorial candidate, and a bevy of other MAGA folk are roiling on the right while Volunteer Blue, along with its partners like Activate America and Swing Left, have targeted two currently Republican held House seats to flip—the 1st Congressional district, which includes Scottsdale, and the 6th anchored in Tucson.

The strategy in Arizona is to boost voter registration everywhere and reach out to low-propensity independent and Democratic voters throughout the state to increase voter turnout.
