The Amish Shah sequel nobody asked for

May 13, 2025

There is no clearer sign of the Arizona Democrat Party’s meltdown that Amish Shah re-upping his failed Congressional campaign today.

“Arizonans resoundingly rejected Socialist Amish Shah, but like a bad song stuck on repeat, he’s back with the same far-left agenda as before. Socialist Shah’s return guarantees the 1st district primary will again devolve into a messy, chaotic battle over which Democrat is the furthest left.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen

Background:

  • Shah called for a socialist government takeover of healthcare, ripping away Arizonans’ private insurance while massively raising taxes.
  • Shah spoke at a Phoenix Democrat Socialists meeting supporting Bernie Sanders for President.
  • Shah praised the Socialist Squad’s “progressive movement” and condemned capitalism.
  • Shah vowed to massively raise taxes on Arizona families and small businesses by abolishing the Trump tax cuts.
  • Shah repeatedly voted against tougher border security in the state legislature and opposed the Border Proposition that Arizonans overwhelmingly passed in 2024.
  • Shah supported transgender biological men in girls’ sports.
