NRCC Launches First Ad Blitz Hitting Socialist Amish Shah, Previewing Race To Come

July 23, 2026

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) today announced a new paid digital ad hitting socialist Amish Shah for his extreme record supporting massive tax hikes, a socialist government takeover of healthcare, open borders and soft on crime policies.

WATCH the ad.

“Arizonans will send NFL player, business and charity leader and fiscal conservative Jay Feely to fight the tax-and-spend politicians in D.C. and make the Valley more affordable. Socialist Amish Shah would take Arizona down a costly, dangerous path. Socialist Shah backed enormous tax hikes on every Arizona household, demanded a socialist government takeover of health care and voted at the State Capitol to put our families in danger from criminals, drug cartels and child sex offenders.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen

Background:

D.C. Democrats spent nearly $4.5 million meddling in the Democrat primary trying — and failing — to avoid this outcome.

Now, Democrats are stuck with a candidate they clearly despise and think cannot win.
Socialist Shah lost badly in 2024, underperforming Ruben Gallego and even Kamala Harris.
In May, Shah said the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee’s executive director told him they wanted “somebody else” “more electable.”
He starts the general election completely broke, his relationship with D.C. Democrats in tatters and his image likely deeply underwater after millions in attack ads.

Amish Shah is a socialist we cannot afford.

Socialist Amish Shah called for a socialist government takeover of healthcare, ripping away Arizonans’ private insurance while massively raising taxes.
Socialist Shah spoke at a Phoenix Democrat Socialists meeting supporting Bernie Sanders for President.
Socialist Shah praised the Socialist Squad’s “progressive movement” and condemned capitalism.
Shah wants to hike taxes by over $4,000 per year on every Valley household. Plus, he wants to raise taxes on small businesses and job creators, and he would even tax Social Security.

Socialist Shah voted to put our families in danger.

Socialist Shah repeatedly voted against tougher border security in the state legislature. Shah opposed the Border Proposition that Arizonans overwhelmingly passed in 2024. He opposed the Laken Riley Act (apprehending criminal illegal immigrants), putting him to the left of Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego.
Shah voted against police funding and voted for the early release of dangerous criminals. Shah even voted against requiring child sex offenders to register online.

Socialist Shah is out of touch and focused on the wrong things.

Socialist Shah admitted his priority if elected would be impeaching President Trump — instead of lowering the cost of living.
Socialist Shah said himself he was running even further to the left in 2026 than in 2024 at the urging of D.C. Democrat party bosses.
Shah supported transgender biological men in girls’ sports.
