    Arizona's 26th legislative district is one of 30 in the state, consisting of a section of

    Maricopa County. As of 2023, there are 34 precincts in the district, all in Maricopa, with a total registered voter population of 81,300.[1] The district has an overall population of 237,193.[2]

    Following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (AIRC) redrew legislative district boundaries in Arizona. The 26th district was drawn as a majority Latino constituency, with 61% of residents being Hispanic or Latino. According to the AIRC, the district is outside of competitive range and considered leaning Democratic.[3]

    Political representation

    The district is represented in the 56th Arizona State Legislature, which convenes from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, by Flavio Bravo (D-Phoenix) in the Arizona Senate and by Cesar Aguilar (D-Phoenix) and Quantá Crews (D-Phoenix) in the Arizona House of Representatives.[4][5]

    Flavio Bravo was appointed to the Senate to fill the seat after Raquel Terán resigned.[6] Since Bravo had been a member of the Arizona House of Representatives, his appointment to the Arizona Senate created a vacancy for his seat in the House. Quantá Crews was appointed to fill Bravo's former seat in the House.[7]
