The outcome illustrated how Arizona’s statewide electorate can produce different results from voters participating in either party’s primary.

Former NFL Player Jay Feely Secured Republican Nomination

Another notable Republican primary contest took place in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District.

Former Arizona Cardinals kicker and sports broadcaster Jay Feely received Trump’s endorsement as he competed for the nomination in the district previously represented by David Schweikert.

Feely won the Republican primary with approximately 50% of the vote.

His campaign highlighted border security, economic growth, and federal spending.

The general election matched Feely against Democrat Amish Shah, a former Arizona state legislator.

Shah led Feely in the reported November election returns, reflecting the competitive nature of the suburban congressional district.

The contest attracted attention because the district includes communities in northeastern Maricopa County, where independent and suburban voters play an important role in elections.

Mark Lamb Won Republican Primary in Arizona’s 5th District

Former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb also emerged victorious in a Republican primary after receiving Trump’s endorsement.

Lamb competed for the nomination in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, which became open after Biggs pursued the governorship.

He defeated Republican challenger Daniel Keenan, receiving approximately 59% of the primary vote.

Lamb’s campaign emphasized law enforcement, immigration policy, government spending, and support for military veterans.

He subsequently faced Democrat Elizabeth Lee in the November general election.

The contest showed that even districts with established Republican voting histories can attract competitive campaigns.

Other Arizona Congressional Races Drew Attention

Arizona’s congressional elections extended beyond the contests involving Biggs, Feely, and Lamb.

Republican Congressman Juan Ciscomani sought reelection in the 6th Congressional District, facing Democrat JoAnna Mendoza.

The race received considerable attention as both parties worked to expand their representation in the U.S. House.
