Moderate Amish Shah on Wednesday won the Democratic Party primary election in Arizona's U.S. House of Representatives first congressional district, according to media projections.

Democrats' drive to win majority control of the House depends in part on their ability to win this general election race on November 3. Incumbent Republican Representative David Schweikert is running for governor.
