...One prediction: Congressman Paul Gosar (R-CD9) not only doesn't run for reelection in 2028, my guess is that he won't make it to 2028 as a member of Congress.
He spoke at a Turning Point USA fundraiser in Phoenix this past week, and he looked distinctly unwell.

Assuming readers locate the video, they should ignore the words and focus on the physical and verbal tics (ignoring the words is easy - he's a nutjob. He opened his speech by equating Cheeto to a god.)
Some folks online speculated that he has Parkinson's and others speculated that he might have been intoxicated. I don't think he was intoxicated. As for Parkinson's, I'm not a doctor (and wouldn't trust one who diagnosed someone based only on a video) and won't speculate.
If my prediction proves to be accurate and he doesn't run for reelection in 2028, once he's no longer a member of Congress or even a candidate, his title of "biggest bigot in Arizona politics" will go to someone else. I'm leaning toward Congressman Eli Crane, but there other contenders for that title (this being AZ, there are *many* other contenders for that particular title.)
The district will almost certainly go to another Republican - the district is overwhelmingly Republican.
Voter registration numbers from the Arizona Secretary of State -
...In the fall elections, at least one Biggs will probably win (no, not Andy Biggs in his quest to defeat incumbent Governor Katie Hobbs). Mylie Biggs, Andy Biggs' daughter, is running for the State Senate seat in LD14. As she's unopposed in the primary and while she faces a Democratic opponent in the general, that district is also overwhelmingly R, so she'll almost certainly win the seat.
...Tyler Farmsworth, who may or may not be related current state senator David Farnsworth or former legislator Eddie Farnsworth (I couldn't find any definitive links indicating a close relationship...and "Farnsworth" is a common last name if that part of Maricopa County) is running for a State Representative seat in that same LD14.
While there's a contest in the primary (three candidates for two seats), the district is still overwhelmingly R, and the R primary winners there will almost certainly win in the general.
...In the "RFK Jr. must be so happy" department: Measles hasn't gone away.
From Arizona Department of Health Services -
Actually, the information on the state page is somewhat out of date. It was last updated on 4/14/2026 and shows Maricopa County as having five cases. On 4/17, the Arizona Medical Association broke news of a sixth case here.
Get vaccinated.
