Amish Shah defeats Marlene Galán-Woods in Arizona Democratic primary for 1st Congressional District

Former state Representative Amish Shah has won the Democratic primary for Arizona's open 1st Congressional District, defeating former broadcast journalist Marlene Galán-Woods, according to Decision Desk HQ. The result is a setback for national Democratic leaders, who had backed Galán-Woods, a Republican-turned-Democrat and widow of late state attorney general Grant Woods. Shah's victory positions him as the Democratic nominee for the competitive battleground seat, which is being vacated by incumbent Democrat Tom O'Halleran after redistricting. The general election is expected to be closely contested in this swing district.
