The Arizona Republican Party is the affiliate of the Republican Party in the US state of Arizona. Its headquarters are in Phoenix. The party currently controls six of Arizona's nine U.S. House seats, sixteen of thirty State Senate seats, thirty-one of sixty State House of Representatives seats, four of five seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission and three Statewide Executive Offices (State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and State Mine Inspector) Since 2020, the state party has been dominated by Christian nationalist and far-right factions. The Arizona Republican Party played key roles in attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election and the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election.

History

Republicans held both of the state's U.S. Senate seats between 1995 and 2019, and the governorship for all but six years between 1991 and 2023. Republican presidential candidates won the state in every election between 1996 and 2020. The party's cash reserves fell from around $770,000 in 2019, to less than $50,000 in 2023. The organization spent $300,000 on legal counseling while attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and $500,000 on an election night party in 2022.
