The District 28 field
Arizona House District 28 will have a contested State House race in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The field consists of two Republican incumbents: David Livingston and Beverly Pingerelli.
Both candidates enter the race as current officeholders rather than first-time challengers. The contest therefore asks District 28 voters to consider two incumbents from the same political party. It is not currently a matchup between candidates from different parties.
Livingston and Pingerelli are the only candidates in the race. Their shared party affiliation and incumbent status are central facts for voters reviewing the District 28 ballot.
David Livingston
David Livingston is a Republican incumbent running for Arizona State House in District 28. His candidacy places a current officeholder before voters in the 2026 general election.
Livingston is one of two Republican incumbents in the contest. Because both candidates share the same party label and incumbent status, voters considering Livingston will be comparing two candidates with those same basic ballot descriptions. His name will appear as part of the contested District 28 race scheduled for Nov. 3.
Beverly Pingerelli
Beverly Pingerelli is a Republican incumbent running for Arizona State House in District 28. Her candidacy places a current officeholder before voters in the 2026 general election.
Pingerelli is one of two Republican incumbents in the contest. Because both candidates share the same party label and incumbent status, voters considering Pingerelli will be comparing two candidates with those same basic ballot descriptions. Her name will appear as part of the contested District 28 race scheduled for Nov. 3.
What is contested
The contest centers on the two named candidates seeking State House office in the same district and election. Livingston and Pingerelli are both Republicans, and both are incumbents. That makes the candidate field different from a race featuring opposing party labels or a sitting officeholder facing a newcomer.
The candidate lineup does not establish policy differences between Livingston and Pingerelli. Any distinctions the candidates draw during the campaign—including their priorities for District 28 and the State House—will give voters more information for evaluating the race.
For now, the clear choice presented by the field is between two current Republican officeholders running in a contested general election.
The election timeline
The District 28 contest is part of Arizona’s 2026 general election. Election Day is Nov. 3, 2026.
The next process questions include whether the candidate lineup changes before the ballot is finalized and how Livingston and Pingerelli describe their priorities during the campaign. Official election steps will determine the final ballot presented to District 28 voters.
Voters can also watch for campaign appearances, public statements and other candidate communications that explain how each incumbent approaches the office. Those developments may clarify the differences between two candidates who currently share the same party label and incumbent designation.
