AZ-01, One Of The Keys To Flipping Congress

Arizona’s first congressional district, entirely within Maricopa County, is one of the swing districts the Democrats are counting on to flip the House. Biden beat Trump there by one and a half points. And 2 years later the Republican incumbent, David Schweikert barely survived a challenge by an under-financed Democrat who was basically ignored by the DCCC— less than a point separated them.

We think that Conor O’Callaghan is the Democrat who will finally defeat MAGA extremist David Schweikert in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. Born in Ireland, his family moved to what is now AZ-01 when he was 4 years old. He attended K-12 in Scottsdale public schools and is a proud alumnus of Chaparral High School. He and his wife Tina, who was born in Iran and fled during that country’s revolution when she was just 2 years old, are raising their 3 young children in Scottsdale as well.
