2022 Arizona elections
The 2022 Arizona elections were held in the state of Arizona on November 8, 2022, coinciding with the nationwide general election. All six executive offices were up for election, as well as a U.S. Senate seat, all of the state's U.S. House of Representatives seats, and the state legislature.
In recent years, Arizona's status as a Republican stronghold has significantly weakened; since 2018, Democratic candidates have made substantial gains in the state's legislature, congressional delegation, and statewide executive offices. Going into the 2022 midterm elections, Arizona was considered a crucial swing state.
Primary elections in Arizona took place on August 2. The November general election had mixed results for both parties. The Republican Party picked up two of the five Democratic-held seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and an additional seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission. In contrast, the Democrats held on to the state's Class 3 U.S. Senate seat and the secretary of state's office, while they flipped the governorship and the Attorney General's office.
Lawsuits contesting the election results were filed by the Republican candidates for governor, secretary of state, and attorney general, but the Arizona Superior Court ruled against the Republican candidates.
Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Kelly was first elected in the 2020 special election with 51.2% of the vote. Kelly ran for a full-term in office and won the Democratic primary unopposed.
Blake Masters, former president of the Thiel Foundation and former chief operating officer of Thiel Capital, was the Republican nominee after defeating Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, businessman Jim Lamon, retired Air Force Major General Mick McGuire, and Arizona Corporation Commission member Justin Olson.
The Libertarian Party nominated Marc Victor, an attorney and the party's nominee for U.S. Senate in 2012. Victor withdrew from the race and endorsed Masters on November 1, 2022.
Incumbent senator Mark Kelly won reelection with 51.4% of the vote. Blake Masters conceded his election loss.
