The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Arizona were held on November 8, 2022, to determine the nine representatives of the state of Arizona. The elections coincided with the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, as well as other elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and various other state and local elections. Despite losing the concurrent Senate and governor elections, the Republicans flipped both the 2nd and 6th congressional districts, making this the first time that the party controlled six seats in Arizona since 2004. Primaries in Arizona took place on August 2.

The Republican primary had six qualified candidates. David Giles, a perennial candidate, Tanya Contreras Wheelas, a former staffer of Arizona senator Martha McSally, and Alex Stovall, a U.S. Army veteran, were the first to announce.

On January 28, the day of Davison's official announcement and kick-off event, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee labelled incumbent Democrat Greg Stanton as vulnerable.^[60][61] Also running were U.S. Navy veteran Rene Lopez, co-founder of Cece's Hope Center, which helps protect young women from sex trafficking, two-term Chandler City Councilman Rene Lopez, and largely self-funded businessman Kelly Cooper.
