Today, the DCCC announced that Amish Shah has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Shah, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as he runs for Arizona’s First Congressional District.
“Amish Shah has built a reputation as a dedicated, independent voice for his community. An emergency room physician who’s seen the devastation of Jay Feely-backed health care cuts firsthand, Shah will passionately fight for affordable health care and lower costs for every Arizonan. Unlike Feely, Shah is deeply in touch with his community and will be the fighter Arizonans deserve in Congress,” said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene.
Amish Shah is an emergency room physician who is committed to serving his community. When he’s not picking up shifts in the ER, Amish is knocking on tens of thousands of doors in Arizona’s First Congressional District to hear directly from voters about what matters most to them. Amish understands that costs are squeezing families, and as a physician himself he’s seen the devastating impact of D.C. Republicans’ cuts to health care up close. He’s ready to go to Congress to improve Arizonans’ health care, lower costs, and fight for families. A former State Representative who’s already represented parts of AZ-01 in the State House, Amish is known as an independent voice who puts Arizona families before party politics. With a track record of rejecting partisan extremism, Amish is focused on getting things done for Arizona families.
One of the most competitive districts in the country, Democrats already have a proven path to victory in AZ-01: Ruben Gallego won the district in 2024, Katie Hobbs won it in 2022, and Mark Kelly won it in both 2022 and 2020.
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested DCCC program that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue building winning campaigns. Additionally, through Red to Blue the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, fundraising support, and more.
