Submitted Biography "I served as the Vice Mayor of Phoenix and made history as the youngest woman ever elected to the Phoenix City Council, representing one of the most diverse districts in the nation’s fifth-largest and fastest growing city. The proud daughter of immigrants and graduate of Stanford and Cambridge universities, I led the charge to pass the city’s landmark Climate Action Plan, fought for the protection of reproductive rights, and secured millions in free tuition for students pursuing community college and good trade jobs. As I take the fight to Congress, working families will continue to be my focus. From championing housing affordability to advancing bold climate action, and from protecting reproductive freedom to strengthening workers’ rights, I will strive every day to better the lives of Arizonans."

I’m the proud daughter of immigrants and I’m running for office because of their experiences. I’ve dedicated my life’s work to public service because this country welcomed them with open arms and opportunity when they desperately needed it. They may have found their American dream, but as their daughter, I know that for far too many people, that dream is now out of reach.


As Councilwoman, I’ve championed housing affordability, climate action, reproductive freedom, workers' rights, and education, with proven results. I led the charge to pass the city's first Climate Action Plan and Transportation Electrification Action Plan, and helped secure hundreds of millions for new parks, roadways, fire stations and infrastructure in my district. I was at the forefront of passing some of the most progressive, pro-union policies in Arizona’s history, including a Worker Heat Safety ordinance that protects outdoor workers from extreme heat. And when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, I passed a resolution to direct the Police Department to make harsh state abortion laws its lowest priority for enforcement.


My policy decisions will always be guided by the needs of working families in my district. While traditional modeling shows a strong economy, it’s an economy that isn’t working for everyone. I will work to support quality jobs and wages that keep up with rising living costs, increased investment in public education, reduced student debt, a higher federal minimum wage, and public transit infrastructure that will get our communities to the new high-wage jobs created by the Biden administration.

An economy for all - Many Arizonans feel left behind in today’s economy with their wages not keeping up with the cost of living. We must prioritize housing affordability, reducing homelessness, strengthening worker power, and keeping taxes low for working families.

Ambitious climate action - The climate crisis is the defining issue of our time. As a climate policy expert, I believe we must accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy and create new jobs for a greener economy.

Restoring reproductive rights - Women’s rights have been under attack. I plan to fight for all women in AZ to have the right to make their own decisions about their own bodies and to access the healthcare services that are right for them.
right to life, pro-life
When I was 16, I was lucky to have now-Arizona State Senator Christine Marsh as my AP English teacher. It was her commitment to discussions focused on civic engagement in the classroom that led me to join the Arizona Democratic Party and the Obama campaign as a junior in high school. As the youngest woman and first Iranian-American to serve on the Phoenix City Council, I’m now running to be the youngest woman and first Iranian-American Democrat in Congress and I owe much of that to the road that President Barack Obama paved for my generation.

The Bible, because it is the divinely inspired Word of God
The climate crisis is the defining issue of our time, which is why I have dedicated my career toward advancing solutions to address it. I served as an advisor on the climate teams of two UN Secretaries-General, and as a Councilwoman, I helped pass the city’s first-ever Climate Action Plan.

If we want to reduce the worst impacts of climate change and save lives, we need to reach 100% net zero by 2050 and establish programs that mitigate extreme heat. We need to go beyond the landmark legislation passed in DC recently.

That means going all-in for a 100% clean energy grid, weatherizing homes and buildings to make them more efficient, and building a high-speed train and transit system both across the country and locally in our cities. We need to make it easier to get around without a car or a plane and we need federal investment to do that.
Yes, sometimes compromise is necessary and my experience at the Phoenix City Council has trained me for a divided Congress. I’ve learned and gained the ability to work with colleagues that I may not agree with 95% of the time. For example, I led a lot of the work on clean transportation and decarbonization of our fleet and I was able to communicate and make the case to my Republican colleagues that beyond the benefits we’re going to see our air quality and emissions, there are cost savings when it comes to electric vehicles and moving away from fossil fuels. I believe there are many areas where we can find compromise in Congress and work across the aisle. And that is exactly the type of leader that I’m going to be: a strong progressive who is effective and can get things done at the Congressional level, which is a rarity these days.
No. Good policies should based on sound, perennial principles.

Without significant campaign finance reform, we'll continue seeing special interests and corporations wield more power than individuals in our elections and in Washington. Dark money influenced my first election in Phoenix in the form of unknown, deceptive, negative mailers to voters. By running a people-powered campaign, we made sure our voices were amplified over special interests.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Noteworthy ballot measures

See also: Arizona 2024 ballot measures

Arizona had 12 ballot measures on the November 5, 2024, ballot. Two notable ones were Proposition 139, which would have provided for a state constitutional right to an abortion, and Proposition 314, which would have allowed law enforcement to arrest any noncitizens who cross the border unlawfully.

Observers and officials commented on whether the amendments would affect voter turnout statewide.

  • Consultant Marcus Dell'Artino said the abortion amendment could increase turnout among young voters: “A measure like this in a presidential year number one, and two an issue as personal as abortion, certainly moves those younger voters 18 and older to get out and vote.”[8]
  • Democratic strategist Tony Cani said between the two amendments, abortion would be a bigger driver of turnout: "The types of voters who are motivated by the abortion initiative tend to be younger, tend to be women, tend to be voters that in the past have needed more of a reason to show up to the polls. And so I think that on balance, if you’re looking at the two, that the abortion initiative is probably going to drive turnout more."[9]
  • Republican consultant Barrett Marson said that the economy would be a more salient issue for voters: “The economy is going to play a much greater role in how people vote — try to get a mortgage around here, try to get a car loan at a reasonable rate. People are unhappy with those metrics right now.”[10]
  • NPR's Ben Giles said the immigration measure "might drive Republican turnout, but it also might drive turnout among groups who are against this immigration law and then might also vote for Democratic candidates when they head to the polls in November."[12]
  • Republican political analyst Sean Noble said: “I think that the people who care about immigration are gonna be motivated to come out for, to vote for Donald Trump just as much as they would for immigration... So I don’t think that the immigration issue on the ballot is gonna actually impact turnout.”[13]

Arizona Right to Abortion Initiative

  • making it a state crime for noncitizens to enter the state at any location other than the port of entry;
  • allowing for state and local police to arrest noncitizens who cross the border unlawfully;
  • allowing for state judges to order deportations;
  • requiring the use of the E-Verify program in order to determine the immigration status of individuals before the enrollment in a financial aid or public welfare program;
  • making it a Class 6 felony for individuals who submit false information or documents to an employer to evade detection of employment eligibility, or to apply for public benefits, and;
  • making the sale of fentanyl a Class 2 felony if the person knowingly sells fentanyl and it results in the death of another person.

A "no" vote opposed making the above changes to state law regarding immigration, border law enforcement, and sale of fentanyl.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Arizona in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 26, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty-eight candidates ran for Arizona’s nine U.S. House districts, including 16 Democrats and 22 Republicans. That’s 4.22 candidates per district. There were 4.33 candidates per district in 2022, 4.22 candidates per district in 2020, and 4.11 in 2018.

The 3rd and 8th Congressional Districts were open in 2024. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-03) ran for the U.S. Senate, and Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-08) ran for the ​​Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.

Nine candidates—six Democrats and three Republicans—ran for the 1st Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Arizona in 2024.

Eight primaries—two Democratic and six Republican—were contested in 2024. That's the fewest since 2014, when five primaries were contested.

Three incumbents—all Republicans—were in contested primaries in 2024.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all nine districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
