A closer look at some key Arizona races

Presidential race in Arizona

Donald Trump won Arizona in 2016, but with only 48 percent of the state’s vote, making it a top target for Democrats. Joe Biden’s moderate reputation helps give him a chance to become the first Democrat to win the state since 1996. Arizona’s 11 electoral votes make the state more valuable than Wisconsin and an absolute must-win for Trump.

1st Congressional District

Tom O’Halleran, a centrist Democrat seeking his third term in Congress, runs against Republican Tiffany Shedd, a lawyer and cotton farmer, in a district that is massive and largely rural. The district voted for President Donald Trump in 2016, making it a race to watch because of the divided loyalties of its voters. The district spans northeastern Arizona, from the Utah border to the outskirts of Tucson.

6th Congressional District

Republican David Schweikert has represented this Scottsdale-based district since it was created in 2012, but finds himself in a competitive race against Democrat Hiral Tipirneni, a physician who ran for Congress in another district in 2018. Schweikert was reprimanded and fined by the House of Representatives for ethics violations, adding to the challenge of holding this traditionally conservative seat that includes Carefree and Fountain Hills.

Proposition 207 — Marijuana

The “Smart and Safe Arizona Act” would legalize the recreational use and possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for adults 21 and older in Arizona. It also would allow adults to cultivate up to six marijuana plants in their homes and up to 12 plants in households with two or more adults. If passed, recreational sales could begin in March.

Proposition 208 — Education

The Invest in Education Act would provide more money to public schools through a 3.5% income tax surcharge on the state’s highest earners. The proposed tax kicks in when taxable income is at or above $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for couples.

Proposition 449 — Valleywise Health tax levy

The Maricopa County Special Health Care District proposition asks Maricopa County residents to continue funding Valleywise Health, a countywide public safety-net medical system. The funding comes from a special secondary property tax that has been paid by property owners in Maricopa County since 2004. This year, that tax amounts to 0.18 cents per $100 of assessed value for residential property owners. The levy originally passed in 2003 is good for 20 years and technically doesn’t expire until August 2025, but it’s on the ballot now for planning purposes.
