ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
Could something that was once unthinkable: Republican Rep. Andy Bigg’s 5th Congressional District flipping to Democratic control, become a reality? And could it come true due to Republican infighting?
With 2026’s Primary Election fast approaching (it’s this Tuesday, July 21), Stacy and Stan, my favorite politically polar-opposite tactician twosome, join me for a special A-Z Political Podcast Primary Preview.
I get Democratic political consultant Stacy Pearson of Lumen Strategies and Republican strategist Stan Barnes of Copper State Consulting to make a few predictions and give their insight into the races (realistically) still being run.
This is a fascinating question: what effect will Republican Daniel Keenan’s ad campaign have in 5th Congressional District’s primary? Will it help him make inroads on the GOP's primary frontrunner, former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb?
Will Keenan’s ubiquitous ads (featuring sexual misconduct allegations against Lamb) result in a Keenen win — or simply leave Lamb limping so badly into the General Election that the southeast Valley district flips Democrat?
That might have been the most “out there” prediction of the podcast, but there are plenty of other riveting races we look at, including:
• The Democratic and Republican primary races in the northeast Valley’s 1st Congressional District, where Democrats Amish Shah and Marlene Galán Woods and Republicans Jay Feely and Joseph Chaplik are battling it out in their respective primaries to replace David Schweikert in Congress.
• The Attorney General’s race — where former Democrat Rodney Glassman is trying to secure the GOP nomination by throwing a lot of shade on state Senate President Warren Petersen hoping to face Democrat Kris Mayes in the fall.
• The race for state superintendent of schools — where sitting supe Tom Horne is being “primaried” by fellow Republican (and current state treasurer) Kimberly Yee in a race that’s gotten a bit nasty.
Check out the AZ Political Podcast, so after the Primary you can give Stacy and Stan a bad time about what they got wrong — as long as you ignore my mistakes.

Even though the color of Arizona’s statewide offices were 100-percent ruby-red Republican at the completion of 2010’s election cycle, could 2016 see a complete color change to through-and-through blue?

Republican Warren Petersen believes the Attorney General’s Office (which he hopes to be elected to on Nov. 3) “should be focused on public safety rather than politics.” And he believes a political focus is what’s motivated incumbent Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes to …
