The Greater Phoenix Chamber is THE voice of business at every level of government. Our robust Public Affairs program gathers business leaders and policy experts to evaluate proposed legislation, vet candidates, and review ballot measures for the potential impacts on the Greater Phoenix region’s economic climate and businesses.
In preparation for the 2026 Primary Election, the Chamber’s experienced public affairs team developed a Voter Guide to provide you and your business with the information you need ahead of the upcoming primary election on July 21st, 2026.
Every two years, Arizonans vote for a new state legislative body and every four years, new county officials. Each elected official runs for his or her seat, and works to earn the votes of their constituency. The Chamber’s Political Action Committee (PAC) was established in 1978 to help probusiness candidates get elected to state, county, and local offices, and ultimately improve the overall business climate in Greater Phoenix.
The PAC vets candidates and endorses them based on their alignment with the Chamber’s annual Public Policy Guide and voting record.
