Incumbent David Schweikert defeated Josh Barnett and Elijah Norton in the Republican primary for Arizona's 1st Congressional District on August 2, 2022. Schweikert and Norton led in fundraising and media attention throughout the race.[1][2][3]

Schweikert was the incumbent in Arizona's 6th Congressional District and ran in the 1st District due to redistricting. According to data from DailyKos, 75% of the redrawn 1st District, which covered parts of Phoenix and Scottsdale, came from areas Schweikert represented in the 6th District. U.S. Rep. Tom O'Halleran (D), the incumbent in the 1st District, ran in the 2nd District.[4]

Norton focused on allegations Schweikert violated congressional and campaign finance regulations. Norton said, "In 2020, self-described 'fiscal hero' David Schweikert was unanimously Reprimanded by every Republican and every Democrat and paid a $50,000 fine after the House Ethics Committee released findings that Schweikert committed 11 ethics violations." After the FEC fined Schweikert's campaign committee $125,000 in January 2022, Norton said, “This fine confirms what we already know to be true, David Schweikert has failed to represent his district, and continually brings shame upon Arizona."[5][6][7]

Schweikert's campaign said his former chief of staff was responsible for many of the campaign finance violations cited in the FEC and the House Ethics Committee reports. Chris Baker, an Arizona-based consultant working with the campaign, said, "No one has been more directly harmed by the malfeasance of Rep. Schweikert's former chief of staff than Friends of David Schweikert.”[8] In a separate interview, Baker said Schweikert had "a lot of support from people who know his record, like what he's done and like having him as their congressman."[2] Baker also cited allegations that one of Norton's companies had defrauded customers. "You don't get sued that many times if you're doing something right. ...The bottom line is: he's basically a crook," Baker said.[9]

Schweikert highlighted his record on tax policy and economic issues, including voting for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Schweikert's website said, "As a member of the Ways and Means committee responsible for tax policy, David took the lead in ensuring the historic tax cuts in 2017 became law."[10] Schweikert also focused on his opposition to vaccine mandates and President Joe Biden’s (D) immigration policies.[11][12][13] Former President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Schweikert.[14]

Norton highlighted his business credentials, saying that, as an entrepreneur, he would bring a unique perspective to Congress.[15] Norton also cited immigration as a top issue, saying he supported investing in technology to monitor the border and "establish[ing] a criminal database sharing system with Mexico."[16] In his responses to Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, Norton said he intended to serve no more than eight years in Congress and said he would donate his congressional salary to charity.

Schweikert served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 1991 to 1995 and as Maricopa County’s treasurer from 2004 to 2006 before being elected to represent the 6th District in 2010.[17][18]

Norton, a Missouri native, founded Veritas Global Protection Services, a Phoenix-based car insurance company.[2]

At the time of the primary, three election forecasters rated the general election Lean Republican. According to Inside Elections’ Nathan Gonzales, the redrawn 1st district was slightly more competitive than the old 6th district. “[The 1st district] got a little more Democratic by the presidential numbers. Trump won the old district by 4 points, but Biden would have won the newly drawn District by a single point,” Gonzales said.[19]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Arizona in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 23, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty-nine candidates filed to run in Arizona's nine U.S. House districts, including 10 Democrats and 29 Republicans. That's 4.33 candidates per district, more than the 4.22 candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.11 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Arizona was apportioned nine districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 39 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Arizona's U.S. House seats since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.

One district — the 6th — was open. That’s one more than in 2020, and one less than in 2018. Rep. David Schweikert (R), who represented the 6th district, filed to run in the 1st district. Rep. Tom O'Halleran (D), who represented the 1st district, filed to run in the 2nd district, where incumbent Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D) did not seek re-election.

The 2nd and 6th districts attracted the most candidates this year, with eight candidates running in each. There were eight contested primaries this year — two Democratic and six Republican. That's the fewest contested primaries since 2014, when there were five contested primaries.

Six incumbents — four Democrats and two Republicans — did not face any primary challengers. The 8th and 9th districts were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. No districts were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.

Presidential elections

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+2. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 2 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Arizona's 1st the 213th most Republican district nationally.[31]
