Arizona 2026 Election Results: Hobbs Reelected Governor, Five of Eight Statewide Measures Pass

In Arizona's 2026 midterm election, Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, won reelection with 55.6 percent, and Democrats also held the secretary of state's office and the attorney general's office. Of the eight statewide propositions, five passed, two were rejected and one leans No but has not been formally called. Five of the state's nine U.S. House seats have been called, and Democrats have won control of both chambers of the state Legislature: about 99 percent of ballots are now estimated counted in Arizona. These results are the collective choice of Arizona voters and are presented here as a factual record.

Governor and U.S. Senator

In the governor's race, Hobbs received 1,193,939 votes (55.6 percent) to Republican Andy Biggs's 916,236 (42.7 percent), and the AP has called her reelection. John Giles was elected on the same ticket and becomes Arizona's first lieutenant governor, in the state's first election to fill the office by ticket. The other candidates were Risa Lombardo of the Green Party (19,122 votes) and Teri Ann Hourihan of No Labels (17,505). Hobbs is the first Arizona Democratic governor to win reelection since Janet Napolitano in 2006, and according to AZCentral, Democrats holding the governorship, secretary of state and attorney general in the same cycle is a first since 1956.

No U.S. Senate seat was on Arizona's ballot this year. Senator Mark Kelly, a Democrat, is next up in 2028; Senator Ruben Gallego, a Democrat, is next up in 2030.

Other Statewide Offices

Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, was reelected with 55.4 percent, called by the AP, over Republican Warren Petersen. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, was reelected with 1,391,975 votes, also called by the AP, over Republican Alexander Kolodin.

Two more offices have been called: for state treasurer, Democrat Nick Mansour defeated Republican Elijah Norton; for superintendent of public instruction, Democrat Teresa Leyba Ruiz defeated Republican Kimberly Yee. The state mine inspector race remains uncalled, with Democrat Brian Matlock leading Republican Walter Presmyk, about 52.6 percent.

The two Corporation Commission seats have been called: Democrats Clara Pratte and Jonathon Hill won the two seats.

Ballot Questions

U.S. House

Arizona's nine U.S. House seats were held six to three by Republicans before the election. Five seats have been called, all for incumbents: Eli Crane (District 2, Republican), Yassamin Ansari (District 3, Democrat), Greg Stanton (District 4, Democrat), Adelita Grijalva (District 7, Democrat) and Paul Gosar (District 9, Republican).

Four seats are uncalled: Democrat Amish Shah leads with about 52.5 percent in District 1, a Republican open seat; Republican Mark Lamb leads with 51.1 percent in District 5; Democrat JoAnna Mendoza leads Republican incumbent Juan Ciscomani in District 6; and Republican incumbent Abe Hamadeh leads with 51.1 percent in District 8. In District 2, Republican incumbent Eli Crane won reelection with 162,753 votes (about 49.7 percent), called by the AP, after Democrat Jonathan Nez had led by 86 votes earlier in the count. No seat has been called as flipped.

Shah, who is Indian American, is listed as a leader only, not a winner; no Chinese American winner appears among the called races.

State Legislature

Democrats have won control of both chambers of the state Legislature, called by the AP. Republicans held the Senate 17-13 and the House 33-27 before the election. With the governorship also in Democratic hands, this is the party's first such sweep since 1966.

Counting and Certification

The figures above come from the Arizona Secretary of State's unofficial results feed and Associated Press data. Mail ballots are still being counted, uncalled offices, propositions and seats are listed by their current leader only, and statewide certification must be completed by November 23. Final results are subject to official certification.
