In the 2024 House race for AZ-8, Abraham "Abe" Hamadeh (R) defeated Gregory Whitten (D) 56.5% to 43.5%. Abraham "Abe" Hamadeh received 208,269 votes compared to 160,344 for Gregory Whitten, a comfortable 13.0-point margin indicating a moderately safe district.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Debbie Lesko (R) 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.
