Chair of the Arizona Republican Party (AZGOP) Gina Swoboda detailed what her job as chair will look like leading up to the 2026 midterm elections during an exclusive interview on The Michael Patrick Leahy Show on Wednesday.
Swoboda was reelected as AZGOP chair after she was elected to a partial term last year. She presided over the party during the successful election of President Donald Trump, which won the state of Arizona by 5.5 percentage points.
“The constitution is the product that sells itself and people will come if you give them a candidate that they can believe in. President Trump did accomplish that, and we’re very proud to have delivered it,” Swoboda said on Wednesday’s show.
Looking ahead, Swoboda said the state Republican party will now turn its focus to the 2026 midterm elections, which will include the statewide races for Arizona governor, attorney general, secretary of state, mine inspector, superintendent of public instruction, treasurer, and corporation commission as well as races for the U.S. House, Arizona State Senate, and Arizona House of Representatives.
As chair of AZGOP, Swoboda said her job will be to focus on going after Democratic candidates who emerge in the different races as the state Republican party is not involved in the primary process of hand picking a nominee.
The 2026 Arizona primary election will be held on Tuesday, August 4. The 2026 general election will be held on Tuesday, November 3.
