Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Javier Garcia Ramos (D)

Secure a reliable water supply for our future by conserving and protecting our water resource and by funding water infrastructure projects.

Protect our voting rights and the rights of minorities and the LGBTQ community

Codify Roe v. Wade in federal law.

Clint Smith (Independent)

Civility, truth and integrity are lacking. I want to bring them back.

Rational immigration reform

Education is key to our future and must improve and adapt

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Javier Garcia Ramos (D)

I am passionate about voting rights and the rights of minorities and tribal communities.

Clint Smith (Independent)

The many effects of the assault on democracy after the 2020 election. While it may not have been perfect, it was secure and the outcome was decided by the voters. It needs to always be decided by the voters.

I care deeply about the climate with resulting effects on the water supply in Arizona. I believe there is room for rational gun regulations that will keep weapons out of the hands of unstable people.

But government intervention in the economy should be limited so that businesses can thrive.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Clint Smith (Independent)

John J. Rhodes, Congressman for Arizona for over 30 years. I worked in his office as an intern in 1981. He reached across the aisle to make important things happen, like the completion of the Central Arizona Project that blesses Arizona still today. He had courage to do the right thing, even when it meant public disagreement with members of his party, including the President.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Clint Smith (Independent)

The idea is inspired: local representatives go to DC and represent the interests of their friends and neighbors while exercising their judgment in policy making.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Clint Smith (Independent)

Government experience, especially if it is a career path, isn't necessary. But one must understand the framework within which government can and should work, as well as how it worked - or didn't - in the past. So political knowledge and experience is necessary.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Clint Smith (Independent)

Tribalism. The inability and unwillingness to listen to others but instead to label and villify.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Clint Smith (Independent)

Natural Resources, Small Business, Financial Services, Ethics

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Clint Smith (Independent)

I support term limits. I personally intend to stay no more than three terms. Entrenchment leads to disconnection with constituents, and that defeats a major purpose of our representative democracy. "Elected official" shouldn't be a career path.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Clint Smith (Independent)

John J. Rhodes of Arizona

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Clint Smith (Independent)

Absolutely. This is seriously lacking and leads to more vitriol and less achievement.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

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.
• 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.

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
