Arizona congressional boundaries shift toward GOP
Associated PressPHOENIX — Arizona’s independent redistricting commission on Wednesday unanimously approved new boundaries for congressional districts that are likely to shift the state’s congressional delegation in favor of Republicans. The new boundaries create four solidly Republican districts, two where Democrats are likely to dominate and three that could be relatively competitive, based on metrics the commission uses to measure competitiveness. The commission also adopted new boundaries for Arizona’s 30 legislative districts in a 3-2 vote after independent Chair Erika Newberg sided with the Republican commissioners. On the new congressional map, districts currently represented by Democrats Tom O’Halleran and Ann Kirkpatrick — the two most competitive in the state under the existing boundaries — moved in favor of Republicans.
