Republican David Schweikert has once again pulled off
a major victory in the 1st Congressional District of Arizona,
clinching his eighth term in the House of Representatives.
He beat out Democratic challenger Amish Shah, who previously
served as a state lawmaker. The district, which includes north Phoenix,
Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and Paradise Valley has been in the
hands of the GOP for a long time, but recent signs seemed
to indicate it could be making a left-ward slide toward the center.
