Arizona Democrats are pushing to win control of the Legislature for the first time since the 1960s.
Why it matters: Republicans have only one-vote majorities in both chambers.
Zoom in: These are the competitive districts in play:
- LD2: Incumbent Sen. Shawnna Bolick (R-Phoenix) faces Rep. Judy Schwiebert (D-Phoenix) in this competitive but Republican-leaning north Phoenix district. Meanwhile, Stephanie Simacek looks to hold Schwiebert's seat for the Democrats as her party's lone candidate against Republicans Rep. Justin Wilmeth (R-Phoenix) and Ari Bradshaw.
- LD4: Sen. Christine Marsh (D-Phoenix) is looking to fend off Republican challenger Carine Werner, while incumbent Rep. Matt Gress (R-Phoenix) and Republican Pamela Carter face Democrats Karen Gresham and former Rep. Kelli Butler.
- LD9: Democrats hold all three seats in this west Mesa-based district, and keeping them will be critical if they hope to take control of the Legislature.


- LD13: This Chandler-based district may be Arizona's most competitive. Sen. J.D. Mesnard (R-Chandler) has fended off strong Democratic challenges before, as Democrats are making a rare play for both of the district's House seats, but must do so without battle-tested Rep. Jennifer Pawlik (D-Chandler), who isn't seeking re-election.
- LD16: Rep. Keith Seaman (D-Casa Grande) faces a tough re-election in this Republican-leaning Pinal County-based district, while Stacey Seaman, the lawmaker's daughter, takes on longtime Sen. T.J. Shope (R-Coolidge).
- LD17: Control of the Senate may run through this northern Tucson-area Republican district, but former Sen. Vince Leach's win over Freedom Caucus Sen. Justine Wadsack (R-Tucson) in the GOP primary could hurt Democrats' chances. Democrats are also hoping to snag a House seat.
- LD23: Rep. Michele Peña (R-Yuma) blocked Democrats from splitting the House in 2022 when she won a seat in this heavily Democratic district in southwestern Arizona. They'll need to win it back if they want control of the House.
What we're watching: The first batch of results, including ballots received before Election Day, is expected around 8pm.
