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.
