The complete list of 2012 candidates running for the U.S Senate and House of Representatives from Arizona.

Two Democratic candidates in a southern Arizona congressional race are being denied access to a voter list by their own party.

A Democratic candidate is dropping his bid for a southern Arizona congressional seat.

The Republican who gave Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva a run for his money in 2010 won’t try to unseat him again this year.

Former U.S. Senate hopeful David Crowe has officially switched races and will challenge U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva in the Democratic primary.



Crowe, a Tucson defense contractor, filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on Jan. 12, according to FEC records. The same day, he told the Arizona Capitol Times that he wasn’t yet sure whether he would run against Grijalva in the new 3rd Congressional District or run for the seat recently vacated by U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

If you can’t beat them, pack up and move to a new district.



That’s the lesson that a handful of legislators are taking with them as they prepare to run in the new districts drawn by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission.

In 2010, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva narrowly staved off a challenge from a Republican upstart.



Next year, Grijalva’s fight may begin in the primary, as a former Democratic state senator says she is mulling a run against the five-term incumbent.
