Hamadeh's political career began in November 2021, when he launched his campaign for attorney general of Arizona. His primary campaign issue was election security, as he spoke out in support of false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen through means of widespread electoral fraud, which former president Donald Trump and his allies had promoted following his loss to president Joe Biden. Other issues he ran on included the enforcement of state border laws, support for law enforcement, and opposition to censorship by technology corporations.{{Cite news|last=Estrada|first=Melissa|date=November 20, 2021|title=Who is running for Arizona attorney general?

In the general election, Hamadeh faced Democratic Party nominee Kris Mayes, a law professor and former chair of the Arizona Corporation Commission. The election was considered a tossup by forecasters, citing each candidate's tight leads in polling as well as Arizona's status as a swing state due to recent Democratic victories in statewide races.{{cite web |title=Secretary of State and Attorney General: What to Watch for Next Week in Key Statewide Contests |url=https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/sos-and-ag-what-to-watch-for-next-week-in-key-statewide-contests/ |website=Sabato's Crystal Ball |date=November 3, 2022 |access-date=November 3, 2022}} On election day, November 8, there was no clear winner, as Mayes held a lead of a few thousand votes over Hamadeh while ballots continued to be counted.{{cite news |title=With abortion taking center stage, Mayes and Hamadeh run neck and neck in AG's race |first=Rithwik |last=Kalale |work=Cronkite News |date=November 8, 2022 |access-date=September 6, 2024 |url=https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2022/11/08/arizona-attorney-general-kris-mayes-abe-hamadeh-face-off/}} When the final tally was completed on November 21, Mayes led Hamadeh by 510 votes out of 2.5 million cast in the closest attorney general race of the year. Because the margin of victory fell below 0.5% of the total vote, an automatic recount was triggered under state law, beginning on December 5.{{cite web |title=Arizona Sec. of State Katie Hobbs gets recount process started for 3 races |url=https://ktar.com/story/5377570/arizona-sec-of-state-hobbs-requests-recount-of-3-election-races/ |website=KTAR News|access-date=December 7, 2022 |date=December 5, 2022}} On December 29, judge Timothy Thomason of the Maricopa County Superior Court announced Mayes as the winner of the election with a reduced margin of 280 votes,{{cite web |title=CV2022-015915: Order Regarding Recount Results |url=https://www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/4601 |website=Maricopa County Superior Court |access-date=December 29, 2022 |date=December 29, 2022}}{{cite news |title=Recount confirms Democrat Kris Mayes won Arizona attorney general race |first1=Ethan |last1=Cohen |first2=Eric |last2=Bradner |first3=Melissa Holzberg |last3=DePalo |work=CNN |date=December 29, 2022 |access-date=September 6, 2024 |url=https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/29/politics/arizona-mayes-hamadeh-recount-attorney-general/index.html}} making it one of the closest elections in the history of Arizona.{{Cite news |last=Billeaud |first=Jacques |date=December 29, 2022 |title=Democrat wins Arizona attorney general race after recount |url=https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-politics-phoenix-arizona-09aee9ff24cd2af5777a6d7ae140782b |access-date=November 6, 2024 |work=Associated Press}} She would take office only four days later, on January 2.

Hamadeh made his first attempt to challenge the results of the election after the final tally was completed, although his case was dismissed by Judge Randall Warner due to a state law that requires election challenges to be filed after the certification of results.{{cite news |title=Judge throws out Abe Hamadeh's bid to overturn the election because it's too early to challenge the results |first=Gloria Rebecca |last=Gomez |work=States Newsroom |date=November 29, 2022 |access-date=September 6, 2024 |url=https://azmirror.com/briefs/judge-throws-out-abe-hamadehs-bid-to-overturn-the-election-because-its-too-early-to-challenge-the-results/}} He filed a second lawsuit following the certification on December 5, arguing that misconduct by election workers, including misinterpretation of undervotes, had cost him the election. However, only 14 ballots were submitted for evidence, which Judge Lee Jantzen noted had only demonstrated errors on the part of the voters, not election officials. Jantzen ultimately denied the election challenge in a preliminary hearing on December 23, 2022 stating in his closing remarks that "there isn't enough information" that any illegal activity had taken place.{{cite news |title=Hamadeh's election challenge shot down by judge |first=Gloria Rebecca |last=Gomez |work=States Newsroom |date=December 23, 2022 |access-date=September 6, 2024 |url=https://azmirror.com/2022/12/23/hamadehs-election-challenge-shot-down-by-judge/}}

In his third lawsuit filed after Mayes had been sworn in, Hamadeh argued that 1,100 provisional ballots had gone uncounted. This claim had come after election officials uncovered 507 votes in Pinal County that were left uncounted, largely due to human error.{{cite news |title=Arizona recount uncovers several ballot-counting errors in Pinal County |first=Jessica |last=Huseman |work=States Newsroom |date=December 30, 2022 |access-date=September 6, 2024 |url=https://azmirror.com/2022/12/30/arizona-recount-uncovers-several-ballot-counting-errors-in-pinal-county/}} Judge Jantzen rejected this lawsuit in July 2023, finding that there was no new evidence that could not have been previously produced at the original trial.{{cite news |last1=Riley |first1=Kiera |title=Judge who denied Hamadeh's motion for new trial explains decision |url=https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2023/07/17/judge-who-denied-hamadehs-motion-for-new-trial-explains-decision/ |access-date=August 3, 2023 |work=Arizona Capitol Times |date=July 17, 2023}} When Hamadeh requested for the Arizona Supreme Court to intervene, they declined and instead sanctioned him, including an order to pay $55,000 toward the legal fees of Mayes and Adrian Fontes, the newly elected Arizona secretary of state.{{cite news |last1=Barchenger |first1=Stacey |title=Abe Hamadeh must pay attorneys fees to Kris Mayes and Adrian Fontes, Arizona top court says |url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2023/10/17/arizona-supreme-court-hamadeh-must-pay-attorneys-fees-to-mayes-fontes/71222015007/ |access-date=October 24, 2023 |work=Arizona Republic |date=October 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20231018184006/https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2023/10/17/arizona-supreme-court-hamadeh-must-pay-attorneys-fees-to-mayes-fontes/71222015007/ |archive-date=October 18, 2023}} In April 2024, the Arizona Court of Appeals had dismissed Hamadeh's request for a new trial in a split decision, criticizing his failure to swiftly move the case forward.{{cite news |title=Appeals court rejects Abe Hamadeh's third challenge to his 2022 AG loss |first=Caitlin |last=Sievers |date=April 11, 2024 |access-date=September 6, 2024 |work=States Newsroom |url=https://azmirror.com/2024/04/11/appeals-court-rejects-abe-hamadehs-third-challenge-to-his-2022-ag-loss/}} In December 2024, the Arizona Supreme Court rejected Hamadeh's appeal, ending this lawsuit.{{cite news |last1=Fischer |first1=Howard |title=Supreme Court quashes Kari Lake's final 2022 election appeal |url=https://tucson.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/elections/arizona-2022-election-kari-lake-last-challenge-rejected-by-high-court/article_1fb43f1a-9d71-11ef-b98f-c741d5f72cb9.html |access-date=November 13, 2024 |work=tucson.com |date=November 7, 2024}}

In November 2023, Hamadeh initiated another lawsuit against the 2022 election result by claiming that the 2022 election violated his constitutional rights; this lawsuit was rejected in July 2024 by Judge Scott Blaney of the Maricopa County Superior Court, who ruled that Hamadeh filed the lawsuit too late, because it was filed seven months after a report was published on the 2022 election's ballot issues, instead of within a five-day limit for an election challenge.{{cite news |last1=Schutsky |first1=Wayne |last2=Fischer |first2=Howard |title=Judge dismisses Hamadeh's 3rd attempt to overturn 2022 election results |url=https://www.kjzz.org/news/2024-07-02/judge-dismisses-hamadehs-3rd-attempt-to-overturn-2022-election-results |access-date=November 13, 2024 |work=KJZZ (FM) |date=July 2, 2024}}

In a different lawsuit, Hamadeh raised the issue of Maricopa County's counting of early ballots in the 2022 election, then concluded that he should be appointed as attorney general as he was "personally entitled" to the role; a rejection of this lawsuit was published in April 2024 by Judge Susanna Pineda of the Maricopa County Superior Court, with Pineda ruling that Hamadeh's challenge should have been brought before the election, and further stating that Hamadeh "surmises, without proof, that he received the most ‘legal votes’" in the election.{{cite news |last1=Fischer |first1=Howard |title=Judge tosses another election challenge, orders Hamadeh to pay fees |url=https://tucson.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/arizona-election-2022-lawsuit-tossed-attorney-general-race/article_deefb37c-f048-11ee-ad34-f78632a10b7d.html |access-date=November 13, 2024 |work=tucson.com |date=April 5, 2024}} In October 2024, the Arizona Court of Appeals rejected Hamadeh's appeal of Pineda's ruling, agreeing that Hamadeh had filed the lawsuit too late, but the Arizona Court of Appeals rescinded Pineda's order for Hamadeh to be sanctioned to pay his opponents' legal fees.{{cite news |last1=Fischer |first1=Howard |title=Unsuccessful 2022 GOP candidate loses again in AZ court |url=https://tucson.com/news/state-regional/article_14586b9e-9652-11ef-a727-cbba9d7ebe8e.html |access-date=November 13, 2024 |work=tucson.com |date=October 30, 2024}}

The Republican primary attracted a field of prominent candidates, including venture capitalist Blake Masters, who lost the 2022 U.S. Senate election against incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly, along with former congressman Trent Franks and state legislators Anthony Kern and Ben Toma.

Polls leading up to the election showed both Hamadeh and Masters with small leads over each other, and the two were seen as the frontrunners, despite Masters massively outspending Hamadeh with his personal funds. The primary campaign was described as "nasty", with the Masters campaign deeming Hamadeh as a "terrorist sympathizer" by negatively highlighting his Muslim heritage. Masters incurred backlash for using Islamophobic rhetoric and imagery in campaign ads.{{cite news |title=Blake Masters and Abe Hamadeh waging MAGA's dumbest bro fight |work=Phoenix New Times |first=TJ |last=L'Heureux |date=June 7, 2024 |access-date=August 14, 2024 |url=https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizonas-blake-masters-abe-hamadeh-waging-nasty-gop-primary-battle-19165437}} Hamadeh's campaign responded by stating that he "embodies the same Judeo-Christian values that our nation was built upon."{{cite news |title=A Nasty House Primary Gets Even Nastier Over Religion |first=Tara |last=Kavaler |work=NOTUS |date=June 14, 2024 |orig-date=June 5, 2024 |access-date=August 14, 2024 |url=https://www.notus.org/2024-election/hamadeh-masters-arizona-religion}}

Hamadeh opposes Green New Deal policies, believing they would only further aggravate high living costs and worsen energy reliability. He has pointed to California as an example of failed energy policy.

In his congressional campaign, Hamadeh named the ongoing border crisis as one of the biggest problems facing the 8th congressional district.

Hamadeh is a strong supporter of Israel, stating that "Jewish people have no bigger ally than me."
