Dr. Amish Shah is an emergency medicine doctor and former member of the Arizona
House of Representatives with a proven track record of getting things done and
standing up to protect our rights and freedoms.
Dr. Shah resoundingly won three straight elections for the Arizona State House of
Representatives in 2018, 2020, and 2022. In his five years at the State Legislature, Dr.
Shah focused on increasing teacher pay, supporting small businesses, and improving
public health and safety. He had more bills signed into law than any Arizona Democrat
in the last decade. He is now running for United States Congress in Arizona’s First
Congressional District, one of the top pick-up opportunities for Democrats in the entire
country.
Dr. Shah is an emergency room physician who is committed to lowering healthcare
costs and standing up to Big Pharma to end the price gouging of essential medications
like insulin. He believes that politicians should stay out of personal medical decisions,
and he will work tirelessly to ensure that women have the freedom to make choices
about their own bodies.
Dr. Shah, who has already represented key parts of Arizona’s First Congressional District in
Maricopa County as a State Representative, has a track record of being an independent
voice working across party lines to put Arizona families first while standing up to
extremist attacks on abortion and voting rights. In Congress, he’ll work to lower costs for
hardworking Arizonans, protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, fight for
abortion rights, and keep families safe.
Amish enjoys playing basketball, flying small airplanes, and embarking on adventurous
travel. He speaks conversational Spanish and is fluent in Gujarati.
