Rachel Keshel (née Jones) is an American politician and a Republican member of the Arizona House of Representatives elected to represent District 17 in 2022. She is a member of the Arizona Freedom Caucus.
Keshel has a degree in business management from Metropolitan State University of Denver and worked for UPS before getting involved in politics.
In February 2024, Keshel introduced a resolution which if passed would request that the Arizona governor "change the manner of the presidential election by appointing the eleven presidential electors to the Republican primary winner to offset the removal of a Republican candidate from the ballot in Colorado and Maine". In support of her resolution, Keshel claimed that the 2020 and 2022 Arizona elections were "illegally administered", despite Keshel being elected in the 2022 election.
In 2024, Keshel supported state legislation that would ban no-excuse early voting by mail in Arizona (which was ushered into existence in 1991 by Arizona Republicans).
