The filing deadline for candidates running for Congress in Arizona this year was April 4, 2022. Thirty-nine candidates are running in Arizona’s nine U.S. House districts, including 10 Democrats and 29 Republicans. That’s 4.33 candidates per district, more than the 4.22 candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.11 in 2018.
Here are some other highlights from this year’s filings:
- This is the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Arizona was apportioned nine districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.
- The 39 candidates running this year are the most candidates running for Arizona’s U.S. House seats since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.
