Tammy Caputi

Tammy Caputi is a business owner and community leader from Scottsdale running to flip a seat in the Arizona House. Tammy has spent more than two decades creating jobs, managing budgets, and leading through economic challenges. She’s seeking election to bring practical experience, steady leadership, and commonsense solutions to the Arizona Legislature for the community she knows.

Democrats only need a four-seat gain this year to flip the Arizona House blue, and Tammy’s race could be the majority-making election.

After decades of GOP control, 2026 is a historic opportunity to flip the Arizona state legislature from red to blue and establish a new Democratic trifecta.

Over the past several election cycles, the DLCC has worked with Arizona Democrats to win key races in both of the state’s legislative chambers, putting blue majorities within striking distance. 

This year, the hard work of the DLCC and state Democrats has primed Arizona for a long-overdue shift in legislative power. A 4-seat gain is needed to establish a new Democratic majority in the Arizona House. In the Senate, a gain of just 3 seats is needed to achieve a Democratic majority.

Both the Arizona House and Senate are top priorities on the DLCC’s 2026 Target Map, as a Democratic-led legislature and potential trifecta would help strengthen the firewall in the states against the chaos of MAGA extremism.
