The Arizona Republican Party is the affiliate of the Republican Party in the US state of Arizona. Its headquarters are in Phoenix. The party currently controls six of Arizona's nine U.S. House seats, sixteen of thirty State Senate seats, thirty-one of sixty State House of Representatives seats, four of five seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission and three Statewide Executive Offices (State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and State Mine Inspector)
Since 2020, the state party has been dominated by Christian nationalist and far-right factions. Its platform calls for the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges, the repeal of same-sex marriage, and a near-total ban on abortion access. The Arizona Republican Party played key roles in attempts to overturn the results of 2020 United States presidential election and 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election.
