A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Arizona utilizes a semi-closed primary system. Unaffiliated voters may choose which party's primary they will vote in, but voters registered with a party can only vote in that party's primary.

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

America’s promise is the freedom to live as you choose. It’s the unbridled opportunity to rise, no matter where you come from. It’s the security that comes from wielding power and peace on the world stage. But today, America’s promise has been dimmed by elected officials whose decisions have weakened us at home and abroad. Quite simply, our enemies and opponents are attacking America by trying to deflate and erase Americanism. But I have a deep and abiding faith in America. We can and will renew America’s promise.

---

We need someone who will fight for us. Someone with the courage to speak truth to power. Someone who has talked the talk and walked the walk of courage. Someone who has taken on tough fights. From national security issues, beginning with the mayhem and disaster at our border, a war between Israel and Hamas, and threats from China and Iran; to economic issues, from entrepreneurial-crushing taxes and spending-driven inflation to irresponsible debt; to ideological issues, like the spread of progressivism, which is undermining our families, our children’s well-being, and even our military readiness.

---

Arizonans need someone in their foxhole. Running to represent District 4 in the U.S. House of Representatives is the culmination of everything I have done with my life, from joining the Navy to taking on radical Islam to treating patients and saving lives. Working and living in Arizona for the past 25 years, I have pushed back against America’s enemies when few others would or could. I served patients continuously during COVID-19 despite enormous pressure to close our doors. As a conservative Republican, I’ve been guided by a deep and abiding faith in America. That is what I am running to restore. I have a proven record of always being in the trenches for my community and my fellow Americans. I’ve done it. I’ve lived it. My family lives it.
