In the upcoming election for Arizona's 1st Congressional District, the race features incumbent David Schweikert and challenger Amish Shah. Schweikert, the Republican nominee, is 62 years old and an alumnus of Arizona State University. He currently serves as a U.S. Representative. His opponent, Shah, is a former state representative.

The current composition of the United States House of Representatives includes 212 Democrats and 220 Republicans, with 3 vacancies. In terms of demographic makeup, Arizona's 1st Congressional District is composed of 70% non-Hispanic White individuals, 18% Hispanic, 5% Asian, 4% Black, and 3% Native American residents.

The district was previously won by Schweikert in the 2022 House election, with a narrow margin of less than 1%. In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won it by a margin of 1.5%. This indicates that the district is competitive, and with the overall tight balance of power in the House, this will be one of the most important districts to watch.
