Current Arizona House Speaker David Gowan announced in October 2015 that he is running to replace Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. Kirkpatrick is running for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by John McCain. Arizona Sen. Carlyle Begay also jumped into the CD 1 race earlier this month.

The Chamber PAC works to get the most business friendly candidates elected to office regardless of political affiliation.
