Sources re-checked September 25, 2026 · How we research

  • Incumbent Democrat Yassamin Ansari, first elected in 2024, won the July 21, 2026 Democratic primary unopposed. No Republican candidate advanced from the primary ballot; write-in candidate Nicholas Glenn received 437 write-in votes but did not meet Arizona's minimum vote threshold to advance to the general election. Jacob Parkman is running as a Republican write-in candidate in the general election. David Redkey won the Green Party primary and Alan Aversa won the No Labels Party primary. Cook Political Report rated the district D+22, and Democrats were guaranteed to win a seat here in 2026 since no Republican qualified for the general-election ballot.[1][2]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits

This district was guaranteed to Democrats in 2026 because no Republican candidate met Arizona's write-in vote threshold in the primary; Jacob Parkman is instead running as a write-in candidate directly in the general election. No campaign website or detailed public statements were found for David Redkey, Alan Aversa, or Jacob Parkman beyond Ballotpedia's electoral records within this research session's time budget; their entries are marked minimal. Yassamin Ansari's specific issue positions were not found on Ballotpedia beyond biography and committee assignments; her federal floor votes and FEC finance totals are added separately by script per the division-of-labor guidance. Biographies for Alan Aversa and Jacob Parkman come only from their Ballotpedia profiles and survey responses; David Redkey's from his Ballotpedia profile and a survey filed for the 1st District race.
