Arizona U.S. House District 1 2026: where the candidates stand on data centers
3 candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot, from the Maricopa County election office's list (opens in a new tab). The officeholder comes first, then the Republican and Democratic nominees together by last name, then everyone else by last name; in each group a candidate with a statement or vote on the record comes first (how the order works). Each has the same space. The list: Official Ballot, General Election, November 3, 2026, County of Maricopa, State of Arizona, sample ballot for precinct 0728 San Victor (Maricopa County ballot, copy posted by the City of Scottsdale) (no date stated (the file was created September 3, 2026)).
These candidates are off the November 3 ballot. Each line gives the status, the day and the source; what each has said about data centers stays on their own page.
A candidate leaves a race before the general election by losing the primary, withdrawing or being disqualified, and the record writes it only where a source says so. How the record follows each candidacy.
Labels are applied by the record's published rules: two readings of each statement, and a third that reads its source where the two differ. Every label sits beside its statement and its source, and any label can be challenged through Report a change, with the correction logged on the corrections page.
