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?

Jevin Hodge (D)

I will invest in our economy and infrastructure. Arizona is one of the fastest-growing states and a leader in international trade. If we’re going to stay a global competitor, we need infrastructure built to support our work in the 21st century. The richest nation in the world should not have crumbling roads and bridges. Together, we can build the economy of tomorrow - and lift the middle-class while we do it. We will create jobs and ensure working families have enough money to pay their bills, put food on the table, and live their lives to the fullest.

I will fight for high-quality, affordable healthcare. Access to quality, affordable healthcare is every Arizonan’s right. The COVID-19 pandemic showed us what can happen when our leaders don’t prioritize the health and well-being of our community. We still have a long way to go to fix what’s wrong with our healthcare system.

I will protect your voting rights. In a time when some want to bring back the hateful era of Jim Crow, we must boldly stand up in defense of the freedoms our ancestors fought for.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jevin Hodge (D)

Expanding educational opportunities is a personal subject for me. I am particularly passionate about ensuring every Arizonan has access to an affordable, high-quality education. That goes especially for early childhood education. I am the President of Arizona’s longest-running Head Start school, so I know first-hand how valuable early childhood education is. I will sponsor a bill to ensure every Arizonan has this opportunity. After years of dangerous attacks on our public education, we need a renewed sense of leadership from the federal government to ensure all of our kids have the same opportunity that I did. Finally, I have student debt. This is personal to me. We must find a way to reform higher education so that our greatest asset - young workers - don’t enter the workforce shouldering debt they can never repay.

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

Jevin Hodge (D)

My mother is my greatest role model. She raised my brother and me by herself and taught us the importance of serving our community. I am so proud to say she is the first Black woman elected to serve in our community. Now, I am following in her footsteps, answering a call to serve our community and ensure everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Jevin Hodge (D)

We must have a representative who takes a pragmatic, fiscally-responsible approach to solving our problems. I’m against wasteful, pork-barrel spending but I am for thoughtful, targeted, impactful investments into Arizona’s economy. As a Congressman, I will fight for smart, green investments that make Arizona a place to live, work, and play and that provide good, middle-class jobs for Arizona families to put food on the table.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Jevin Hodge (D)

I take a very pragmatic approach in my fiscal philosophy. From my time in business consulting and non-profit management, I have extensive experience managing large budgets and ensuring that every ounce of spending is necessary and effective. I will lead with fiscal responsibility at the forefront of every decision and ensure every dollar we spend becomes a positive investment in our families and economy.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Jevin Hodge (D)

Mindset by Carol Dweck taught me the importance of leaders having a growth-oriented mindset. Her work reminds us of the importance of optimism and gave me the logic toolkit necessary to tackle big challenges head-on. I highly recommend this book to anyone preparing for a significant undertaking in their personal life or career.

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

Jevin Hodge (D)

We must build an economy that works for all Arizonans. That means developing an economy that is not only resilient, but also one that encourages innovative solutions to other challenges posed by issues like climate change, inflation, and more. We must also address income inequality and its root causes head-on. This will help us tackle so many other problems along the way.

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

Jevin Hodge (D)

First and foremost, I want to make sure every Arizonan has access to a high-quality, affordable education and career opportunities that enable them to live their best lives. That is why I will seek to serve on the Education and Labor Committee. I will also seek to serve on the Appropriations Committee to ensure our government funds are used responsibly. Finally, I hope to make our government work for the people, not against them, which is why I would seek a position on the Government Oversight and Reform Committee.

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

Jevin Hodge (D)

I look up to the legacy of Senator John McCain. I never agreed with everything Senator McCain did, but I respected his principle and the courage of his convictions. When I am in Congress, Arizonans can trust that I will watch out for them in the same manner - above partisanship and with their interests only at heart.

General election race ratings

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

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 made Arizona's 1st the 213th most Republican district nationally.

Arizona's 1st Congressional District was a battleground district in 2014 due to the fact that the seat was held by a Democrat, but the district had a slight Republican lean. Incumbent Ann Kirkpatrick faced no challenger in the Democratic primary. In the Republican primary, Andy Tobin triumphed over Gary Kiehne and Adam Kwasman. The race between Tobin and Kiehne remained too close to call for over a week following the primary. In the end, Tobin won by 0.7 percent of the vote. Kirkpatrick ultimately defeated Tobin in the general election on November 4, 2014.
