The Secretary of State's eventual 2028 calendar will determine qualifying dates and other specific requirements. Federal Senate qualifications are age 30 upon seating, nine years of U.S. citizenship, and Arizona inhabitancy when elected. (Source 3)

05 | ESTABLISHED ELECTORAL FIELD

Incumbent Mark Kelly has an established Democratic record and a current FEC filing. Historical Republican Senate figures referenced by the research include Blake Masters, Jim Lamon, Mark Brnovich, Michael McGuire and Mark Lamb; Marc J. Victor has prior Libertarian candidacy history. Separately, Lonnie Wills is reported in secondary 2028 candidate filing trackers. None of these historical or reported records alone certifies a 2028 state ballot appearance. (Source 1) (Source 5) (Source 7)

Other well-known Arizona political officeholders—including Katie Hobbs, Ruben Gallego, Adrian Fontes, Kris Mayes, Kimberly Yee, Tom Horne, David Schweikert, Juan Ciscomani, Greg Stanton, Yassamin Ansari and Eli Crane—are maintained as electoral context rather than automatically advanced to the civic candidate register.
