D.C. Democrats Meddle Some More As AZ-01 Dem Primary Melts Down

July 2, 2026

Democrats found themselves in total disarray in AZ-01 with D.C. Democrats now scrambling to bail out their handpicked liberal Marlene Galan-Woods.

Today, the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) began spending nearly $100,000 so far on TV ads to prop up Galan-Woods.

  • Dem-on-Dem attacks flying: Galan-Woods, Amish Shah and Jonathan Treble launched fresh attacks on each other and raced to the far-left with their demands for socialist government health care.
  • Blowback from local Democrats: This week, Arizona Democrat Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva blasted the DCCC’s meddling. Then, a local Democrat consultant slammed Galan-Woods: “What a weird move as the establishment chosen candidate.”

“Democrat Marlene Galan-Woods struggled to move the needle with voters, so frenzied D.C. Democrats panicked and meddled some more. Local Democrats resent D.C. Democrats, the whole field is racing to the far-left and Democrats in disarray doesn’t even begin to cover it.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
