Arizona's Growing Population Might Mean New U.S. House Seat

Arizona has grown by almost 780,000 people in the past eight years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Not only do those new residents bring more money to the state, they could bring one more congressional seat.

It looks like Arizona will likely pick up a 10th seat in the U.S. House after the 2020 census.

Howard Fischer of Capitol Media Services pulled out his crystal ball on The Show to talk about his predictions.
