Arizona has been in the national political spotlight for a few election cycles now; that spotlight was especially bright during the 2020 presidential election and the partisan ballot review of Maricopa County that followed.
And this year, a number of Arizona races have generated national attention, from U.S. Senate to governor to secretary of state and a few congressional races.
