Who's In the Race
Republican Mark Lamb won his party's July 21 primary, and Democrat Elizabeth Lee won hers, setting up a general election face-off for Arizona's 5th U.S. House District. The seat is open since incumbent Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is not seeking reelection, and the general election will take place on November 3.
What They Stand For
Lamb, running on a platform aligned with President Donald Trump's "America First" movement, opposes defunding the police and opposes abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and supports securing the U.S.-Mexico border.
Lee, a Democrat, supports affordable healthcare, Medicare expansion, and lower prescription-drug costs, according to her campaign website. She also supports reproductive freedom, fully funded public schools, workers' rights, and an economy that benefits working-class people.
