Race snapshot

Arizona’s 5th Congressional District has a contested U.S. House election scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The race lists 14 candidates: five Republicans, seven Democrats, one Green candidate and one independent candidate.

Official candidate records list no biographical information or documented policy positions for any of the 14 candidates. That means the records identify their names and party affiliations but do not establish where they stand on specific issues.

Understanding the financial reports

Campaign finance records show how much each campaign has reported raising and spending. These figures do not describe a candidate’s policy positions or indicate voter support. Cash-on-hand figures are not on file for any campaign in the race.

Several campaigns report no money raised or spent, while others report financial activity. The figures below use the same two measures for every candidate: total funds raised and total funds spent.

What the records establish

The official entries establish that Grayson is seeking the seat as a Green candidate in a crowded, contested race. They do not document Grayson’s work history, education, public-service background or positions on issues.

The same limits apply across the field: none of the listed candidates has a biography or policy position on file. Future candidate filings and campaign finance reports may add information before the Nov. 3, 2026, general election.

What to watch
