Jacob Weinberg

Jacob Weinberg is a 20-year U.S. Army combat veteran and business leader running to flip a seat in the Arizona House this fall. After his military service, Jacob continued leading teams and supporting veterans in his community. Jacob loves calling Arizona home and is excited to give back to his community by working to build lasting economic opportunities and improve access to quality education for all Arizonans.

This year, Jacob, with the support of the DLCC’s Target Races program, is in a prime position to flip a vulnerable Republican district and help Democrats gain the four seats needed to take majority control of the Arizona House.

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.
