Battleground State

Arizona

Senate: GOP Majority

13D
17R

House: GOP Majority

27D
33R

Arizona is a top DLCC Battleground State in 2026.

Arizona is one of our top opportunities to turn a state blue in this once-in-a-generation election. We are aiming to flip both chambers in the state legislature for the first time since the 1960s.

Arizona is home to some of the nation’s most extreme MAGA Republicans who have focused on undermining our democracy and chasing conspiracy theories rather than addressing the issues facing Arizonans. We have an opportunity to let Democrats drive the state’s agenda for the first time since the Civil Rights era by electing legislators who believe that government should help, not harm, the people it represents.

After chipping away at GOP power, Democrats are now poised to flip both chambers. DLCC is supporting Target Races featuring the Democratic candidates running in the most competitive districts that will determine which party controls Arizona next year.

Meet the DLCC’s Arizona Target Race Candidates

The DLCC is targeting 17 crucial races in Arizona in order to seize the opportunity to flip the Arizona Legislature from red to blue and establish a new Democratic trifecta – adding to the firewall in the states against the chaos from the Trump administration.

DLCC Target Races

Incoming AZ House Speaker Rep. Oscar De Los Santos has plans for a robust Democratic agenda after 60 years in the minority.

“We have sixty years of pent-up ideas that we have not been able to move,” he said. “There’s a bunch of legislation that we’ve got ready to go.”
