Democrat Tipirneni has outraised Schweikert and several other Democrats are also vying for Schweikert’s seat

Looking to jump start his laggard campaign, Rep. David Schweikert turned to one of the key Republicans opposing the impeachment inquiry, with Rep. Devin Nunes headlining a fundraiser in Paradise Valley.
Nunes, a California Republican, is the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee probing President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. He is a staunch Trump ally, and has reliably cast the inquiry as a “hoax” similar to the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Nunes told KFYI (550 AM) he came to Arizona at the request of Republican Reps. Andy Biggs and Debbie Lesko, as well as Schweikert, R-Ariz.
