A new survey of Republican primary voters in Arizona's 1st Congressional District reveals a competitive but wide-open field in the 2026 Republican primary for Congress. Joseph Chaplik leads with 24% of the vote, followed by Jay Feely at 15% and John Trobough at 6%. With 54% of primary voters still undecided, this race is far from settled — but the early data provide meaningful insights into the structural strengths and challenges facing each candidate.
