Former U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick is considering a possible run next year for Arizona's 2nd Congressional District.

Freshman Republican U.S. Rep. Martha McSally held off her Democratic challenger, Matt Heinz, in Tuesday’s race for Southern Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District.

Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District was supposed to be a lost cause for Democrats.

Democratic voters trail their Republican counterparts in returning their early ballots, but they’ve narrowed the gap they had in 2012, buoying the beleaguered minority party’s hopes that it’s in for a relatively good election year in historically red Arizona.

At first glance, the Democrats running for U.S. House in the southeast Arizona district that includes most of Tucson are a lot alike.

Pima County elections officials discovered 208 additional ballots on Wednesday from voters in the tightly contested 2nd Congressional District race.

U.S. Rep. Ron Barber is fired up. The Democratic congressman, often described as quiet and unassuming, is animated on Oct. 9 in front of a crowd of seniors at a Tucson YMCA, where he’s rallying them in preparation for get-out-the-vote efforts now that Election Day is just weeks away.

The stage is set for the rematch of 2012’s most closely contested congressional race, as Martha McSally has won her bid to once again challenge U.S. Rep. Ron Barber for a seat in Congress.

For the fourth quarter in a row, Martha McSally outraised U.S. Rep. Ron Barber in her bid to oust the incumbent lawmaker in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District.

When Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Barber won a slam-dunk special election in June against the same opponent who almost defeated his predecessor and boss, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, many political consultants chalked it up to the “Gabby Effect.”
