Amish Shah Defies DCCC in Arizona | Savannah News

Amish Shah just pulled off a stunning upset in Arizona’s first congressional district, winning the Democratic primary without the backing of the DCCC—despite their support going to Marlene Galán-Woods. As an emergency physician, Shah’s grassroots victory signals voters are rejecting party establishment picks in favor of local champions. Now, he’ll face Republican Jay Feely, a former Jets kicker, in a key battleground race that could sway House control. Both candidates have surprising ties to the Jets—Shah as a sideline doctor, Feely as the kicker. Shah’s win, echoing similar anti-establishment trends in California and Maine, proves voters want candidates who connect authentically with their communities, not just party elites.
