Woods was looking to make history as the first openly atheist candidate to be elected to the U.S. Congress (former California Congressman Pete Stark , who served from 1973 to 2013, is an atheist but did not reveal this until 2007; former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank revealed that he was an atheist after he left office).

The 7th district is heavily Hispanic. It is located primarily in Phoenix , and includes portions of Glendale and the town of Guadalupe . The incumbent was Democrat Ed Pastor , who had represented the district since 2013, and previously represented the 4th district from 2003 to 2013 and the 2nd district from 1991 to 2013. He was re-elected with 82% of the vote in 2012 and the district has a PVI of D+16. Pastor did not run for re-election.
Democratic primary
Pastor's retirement presented a "once- or twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for an open safe Democratic seat in Arizona and was predicted to set off a "free-for-all" in the primary that could "eclipse" the 10-candidate primary for retiring Congressman John Shadegg 's seat in 2010. Because of this and Arizona's "resign-to-run " law, political consultant Mario Diaz predicted a "domino effect, from federal (offices) all the way down to city (councils)."
