民主党人沙阿赢得亚利桑那州第一国会选区
民主党人阿米什·沙阿11月5日被两家主要媒体确认赢得亚利桑那州第一国会选区的选举，击败共和党人杰伊·菲利。计票结果显示沙阿大幅领先。沙阿曾任州议员，职业是急诊室医生；菲利曾是亚利桑那红雀队踢球手，获得特朗普总统背书。第一选区覆盖北凤凰城、斯科茨代尔、天堂谷、洞溪和喷泉山等地，以及盐河和麦克道尔堡原住民保留地部分地区。选举之夜，沙阿在凤凰城的民主党集会上发表了温和表态，承诺“做正确的事，而不仅仅是政治上权宜的事”。菲利则在选举之夜表示，无论结果如何，他和妻子都“心安”。这场竞选耗资巨大，截至10月中旬，外部团体投入已超过2500万美元。亚利桑那州选举结果在地方和州官员完成全部计票并认证之前均为非官方结果。沙阿预计将于明年1月就职，成为民主党在众议院多数党的一员。

Democrat Amish Shah Wins Arizona's 1st Congressional District
Democrat Amish Shah was confirmed on Nov. 5 by two major news organizations as the winner of Arizona's 1st Congressional District, defeating Republican Jay Feely with a commanding lead in the count. Shah is a former state legislator whose profession is emergency room medicine; Feely is a former Arizona Cardinals kicker who was endorsed by President Trump.
The 1st District covers north Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek and Fountain Hills, along with parts of the Salt River and Fort McDowell tribal reservations. On election night, Shah struck a moderate tone at a Democratic gathering in Phoenix, pledging to 'do the right thing, not just the politically expedient thing.' Feely said on election night that whatever the result, he and his wife were at peace with it.
The race drew heavy spending, with outside groups putting in more than $25 million by mid-October. Arizona election results remain unofficial until local and state officials complete the count and certify them. Shah is expected to take office in January as part of the Democrats' new House majority.
