He is a member of the Republican Party. His district includes most of northern Phoenix as well as Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Cave Creek.
Schweikert previously served in the Arizona State House of Representatives from 1991 to 1994, chaired the state Board of Equalization from 1995 to 2004, and was Maricopa County treasurer from 2004 to 2007.
Schweikert and Paul Gosar have shared the deanship of Arizona's congressional delegation since the death of Raúl Grijalva on March 13, 2025. In September 2025, Schweikert announced that he would not run for re-election to the U.S. House and would instead seek the Republican nomination in the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial election.
