Statement
It’s Time for Change. Arizona families deserve more than recycled ideas and systems that keep producing the same broken outcomes. We cannot solve today’s challenges with yesterday’s thinking. People are working harder but falling behind, communities feel less secure, and too many are questioning whether the future will be better for their children. That’s not the promise of America and it’s time we restore it. Arizonans need someone in their corner who shows up, stands firm, and fights with conviction. I believe deeply in this country and in our ability to rebuild what’s been lost. Freedom, opportunity, and security should not be distant ideals. We need bold leadership that tells the truth, challenges outdated systems, and delivers real solutions. That means strengthening our economy, addressing inflation, securing our borders, protecting our water resources, and creating pathways for sustainable growth. It means cutting unnecessary barriers, supporting small businesses, and ensuring that hard work leads to stability and success. I will always put people over politics—focusing on Accountability, Integrity and Results. When we stand with working families, we build stronger communities and a more resilient future. Together, we can restore trust, renew opportunity, and lead Arizona forward.
Biography
Tisha Benoit is the No Labels Party nominee for Arizona's 4th Congressional District in 2026. An Arizona native, she grew up in the district and graduated from Marcos de Niza High School. She holds a bachelor's degree in health science, a master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and has owned a healthcare practice in Arizona focused on women's health. Her community service includes a medical mission in India and fundraising for water wells in Cambodia. Her campaign makes balancing the federal budget its central issue, proposing a ten-year plan that would put both spending cuts and additional revenue on the table, and also emphasizes preventive, price-transparent healthcare, increasing housing supply, and water innovation. At the October 5, 2026 Clean Elections debate she said she agreed with ideas from both of her opponents; afterward she told reporters she had supported Donald Trump in 2020 and 2024 and described herself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal. She won the July 21, 2026 No Labels Party primary over John Fillmore, 65.4% to 34.6%, and faces Democratic incumbent Greg Stanton and Republican nominee Zuhdi Jasser in the November 3, 2026 general election.
