Arizona Democrats field candidates for every legislative district

[RandySF]

Harris is part of a wave of Democratic candidates who are running for local office and competing for seats that, in previous years, wouldn't have been contested.

In 2016, Democrats fielded candidates for either the Arizona Senate or the Arizona House of Representatives in each legislative district. This year, for the first time in at least a decade, there will be Democrats running for both those positions in every single legislative district.

So far, 108 Democrats have declared their intent to run for the legislature in 2018. Of that number, 50 are women, and 54 are people of color. The majority have never run for office before.
