Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) is running for governor of Arizona , forgoing a chance for reelection in a competitive GOP toss-up seat in 2026 .

The congressman, who has represented Arizona’s 1st District since 2023 but has been in the House since 2010, will join a gubernatorial primary against fellow Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ). President Donald Trump has endorsed two candidates already in the Republican primary, Biggs and Karrin Taylor Robson, so Schweikert’s entrance will be a test of how influential Trump’s support can be in a competitive primary.
