MoveOn is proud to endorse Amish Shah for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District!

Leadership and Experience

As a board-certified emergency room physician and former member of the Arizona House of Representatives, Dr. Amish Shah brings a unique blend of frontline medical experience and proven legislative leadership. During his five years in the Arizona Legislature, Dr. Shah was a dedicated advocate for working families, education, and public health. Known for his effective approach to governance, he had more bills signed into law than any other Arizona Democrat in the past decade.

In addition to his legislative service, Dr. Shah has continued to practice emergency medicine, even flying himself to treat patients in underserved communities across Arizona. He is running for Congress to bring his policy expertise, commitment to public health, and relentless focus on lowering costs to Washington.

How he’ll help your community:

In Congress, he will fight to pass federal protections for abortion access and defend reproductive rights against extremist attacks.
