DemocratAZ-3 · Representative

In the 2024 House race for AZ-3, Yassamin Ansari (D) won with 70.9% of the vote, defeating Jeff Zink (R) who received 26.6%. 2 additional candidates split the remaining vote. Yassamin Ansari's 44.4-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.
This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Ruben Gallego (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. The wide margin suggests this district is firmly in the Democrat column for the foreseeable future.
