Who They Are: Congress
Pima County's representation in the United States Congress: two senators elected statewide to six-year terms, and the two House members whose districts cover the Tucson metro. District 7 takes in the western third of Tucson and runs along the border; District 6 takes in the rest of the city, the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, Marana, Green Valley and Vail. Both House seats are on the Nov. 3, 2026, ballot.

Two-year terms, every seat on every even-year ballot. Two of Arizona's nine districts cover Pima County.
What's changing
- Adelita Grijalva, District 7: On the Nov. 3 ballot against Republican Daniel Butierez, a rematch of the 2025 special election.
- Juan Ciscomani, District 6: On the Nov. 3 ballot against Democrat JoAnna Mendoza, who was unopposed in the July primary. Seeking a third term; the Cook Political Report rates the race a toss-up.
Seats and terms come from each government's own pages and election canvasses; each person's list of reports is drawn from What They Decided. Tell us what's wrong or missing: nicholas@tucsondailybrief.com.
