Handful of Arizona US House seats remain too early to call

Associated Press  

PHOENIX — A handful of U.S. House races in Arizona remained too early to call as Republicans hoped to shift the state’s 5-4 Democratic tilt by picking up two and possibly three seats. The most vulnerable Democratic incumbent is three-term U.S. Rep. Tom O’Halleran, whose sprawling 2nd Congressional District covers much of northeastern Arizona and dips south to the northern Tucson suburbs. Southern Arizona’s 6th District, held by retiring Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, was slightly less favorable to Democrats under maps approved last year by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission. The lone Republican U.S. House incumbent who faced a realistic challenge is David Schweikert, whose wealthy 1st Congressional District covers parts of northeast Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills.
