by Garrett FriskArizona's 8th congressional district is quite red; Republican incumbent Debbie Lesko running unopposed in 2022, while Donald Trump carried the district with 56% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election. Despite this, the 8th district Democratic primary is becoming increasingly crowded. The newest entrant into the race is Greg Whitten, a biosecurity consultant who formerly worked for the U.S. Department of Defense; Whitten declared his candidacy with a launch video on September 7. Whitten promises to "put people over partisan politics and work to ensure every Arizonian feels safe and secure — safe from threats from at home and from abroad, secure in a retirement that’s been put at risk, all as part of an Arizona economy that’s creating jobs." His campaign website can be found here. Comments are closed.
