Hi, my name is Amish, and I'm proud to have served as an Arizona State Representative for the last several years. I now ask for your continued consideration and support as I run for United States Congress in 2026. The last few years were stressful for our state and our nation, and I hope that we bring out the "better angels of our nature" in each of us as President Lincoln once said. Let's support and uplift each other as we face daunting societal challenges such as rising housing costs and homelessness, underfunded public education, and inaccessible or unaffordable health care. Meanwhile, we as your elected officials must work as hard as we can to deliver results for you on these fronts. I continue to push for a culture of hard work, civility, responsiveness, and a drive for excellence in our government. Amish Shah, MD

Costs are too high for the working families of Arizona as the cost of housing, groceries, and health care go up, and the Trump Administration is making the problem worse by threatening and enacting reckless tariffs on goods that we rely on every day. These tariffs are a tax on Arizona families that will raise costs on groceries, gas, cars, and housing, hurt small businesses, and hurt our economy.
