Incumbent Mark Kelly was elected in a 2020 special election with 51.17% of the vote and is eligible to seek a full term.

Senator John McCain was re-elected to this seat in 2016. However, he died on August 25, 2018, and former senator Jon Kyl was appointed to finish his term. Kyl resigned at the end of the year, and was replaced by former representative Martha McSally, who lost to Kelly in 2020.

Previously considered a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, incumbent governor Doug Ducey declined to run in an interview with The New York Times.[1] He had faced criticism from then-President Donald Trump and the Arizona Republican Party for refusing to overturn the presidential election in the state on the grounds of debunked voter fraud allegations.[2]
