Arizona’s 1st District is a significant battleground seat that President Donald Trump carried by three points in 2024. This marks the second consecutive cycle that Shah has secured the Democratic primary nomination for the district. He previously won the primary in 2024 but was defeated in the general election by Republican Representative David Schweikert, who won by four points.

Covering central Arizona, the district includes Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and extensive land to the northeast of Phoenix. Moving toward the general election, Shah is set to face off against Jay Feely. Feely, a former NFL kicker who played four seasons for the Arizona Cardinals, secured the Republican nomination after receiving an endorsement from Donald Trump and defeating former state Representative Joseph Chaplik in the primary.
