Yassamin Ansari (D) defeated Raquel Terán (D) and Duane Wooten (D) in the Democratic primary in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District on July 30, 2024. Following a recount, Ansari defeated Terán by 39 votes. Ansari received 44.6% of the vote, Terán received 44.5%, and Wooten received 10.9%.[1] In Arizona, automatic recounts are required if a candidate or measure is defeated by less than or equal to 0.5% of the total votes cast. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes petitioned the Maricopa County Superior Court for a recount of election results, and Judge Jennifer Ryan-Touhill ordered a recount of election results.[1] The recount took place from August 16 to August 19.[2] To learn more about the recount, click here.
Ansari and Terán led in noteworthy endorsements, polling, and fundraising. Incumbent Ruben Gallego (D) ran for U.S. Senate, leaving the district open.
According to Vox, the open-district race presented candidates with "a rare opportunity: The district is Arizona’s most Democratic region, it is majority Latino and working-class, and it has been represented by Gallego since 2014."[3] Citing Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo (D), Axios said "Ansari's biggest strength is her fundraising and Terán's is her grassroots background. Fundraising matters less in CD3 than in other districts...The low turnout in the district means TV ads, the staple of high-dollar campaigns everywhere, have less impact."[4]
Ansari was a former Phoenix city council member who earlier worked at the United Nations as a climate policy advisor. Ansari ran on her record, saying she expanded funding for programs serving working families and homeless residents, directed the police department to deprioritize enforcement of abortion-related crimes, and helped pass Phoenix's first climate action plan.[5] Ansari said she was running "because right now, we're at an inflection point...for far too many people, [the American Dream] is now out of reach."[6] As of July 30, 2024, Ansari had raised $1,886,723.73, including $171,033.65 in self-funding. Ansari's endorsers included U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton (D), one former and four current state legislators, and the Arizona Federation of Teachers.
Terán was a former state legislator, state party chairwoman, and community organizer. Terán ran on her organizing record, saying she was involved in the efforts to recall state Sen. Russell Pearce (R), to defeat the re-election campaigns of Sheriff Joe Arpaio (R) in 2016 and President Donald Trump (R) in 2020, and to elect Democrats to statewide offices in 2022. Terán said she would organize voters in the district to help Democrats win statewide races: "Joe Biden won by 10,000 votes. Governor Hobbs won by 15,000. Let’s think positive and increase our votes. Those narrow margins can increase if our district, if a district like Congressional District Three, overperforms."[3] As of July 30, 2024, Terán had raised $1,166,034.15. Terán's endorsers included three U.S. senators, two U.S. representatives, 20 state legislators, and the Working Families Party.
As of July 30, 2024, four major race rating outlets each rated the general election Solid/Safe Democratic. In 2022, Gallego defeated Jeffrey Zink (R) 77.0%–23.0%.
All 435 seats were up for election. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies.[7] As of June 2024, 45 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election.

In the 2022 election in this district, the Democratic candidate won 77.0%-23.0%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Joe Biden (D) would have defeated Donald Trump (R) 74.5%-23.9%.[8]

Yassamin Ansari (D)
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.

Yassamin Ansari (D)
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.
Yassamin Ansari (D)

Yassamin Ansari (D)
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.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[32] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[33] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

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.[36]
- 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.[37][38][39]

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.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+24. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 24 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made Arizona's 3rd the 40th most Democratic district nationally.[47]
