Kristie O’Brien

Kristie O’Brien is a mediator from Chandler running to flip her hometown district in the Arizona Senate this November. Kristie is committed to using her legal experience to fight for her community and propose common-sense solutions to issues facing Arizona’s working families. Kristie is focused on lowering costs for families, investing in public education, and securing a sustainable future for the state.

Kristie is mounting a strong campaign, with the backing of the DLCC’s Target Races program, to help ensure Democrats gain the 3 seats needed to win majority control of the Arizona Senate in 2026.

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.
