Brian Fernandez

Sen. Brian S. Fernandez is a sixth-generation Arizonan from Yuma running for reelection to the Arizona Senate this fall. As a state senator, Brian has focused on strengthening public schools, expanding affordable housing, and supporting working families across Arizona. He brings a background in technology and public service to the state legislature, focusing on practical solutions that create opportunity and deliver results for his community.

This year, Brian is backed by the DLCC’s Target Races program because he’s an experienced legislator with an excellent chance to defend his seat, and help Democrats gain the 3 seats they need to take the majority in the Arizona Senate.

After decades of GOP control, 2026 is a historic opportunity to flip the Arizona legislature from red to blue, and Democrats could gain full control of state government..

Arizona is one of our best opportunities in 2026 to flip chambers, and we could gain full control of state government for the first time in Arizona in 60 years. After years of steady gains and holding our ground, the favorable midterm environment in 2026 can be the year that puts us over the top into new majorities and unlocks significant progress for more than 7.5 million Arizonans.

GOP majorities in both chambers have rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda and pushed the limits of MAGA extremism – the stakes couldn’t be higher to capitalize on the historic opportunity to flip control of both chambers for the first time in decades.
