State Committees update - legislative

From the website of the Arizona Secretary of State -


















































Ignore the districts for which these committees were formed; a majority, if not all, were formed based on old district lines and names created before 2021 redistricting. Without knowing the residential addresses of the (potential) candidates, I couldn't even begin to speculate on which new district they are in.  Don't go by committee addresses; while many are based in the homes of the candidates, they aren't required to be.


Edited to add:

Not comprehensive - some folks have really common names, and I couldn't find anything in a quick search.

Also, forming a committee is the only requirement to be listed here.  A listing here is no guarantee that anyone so listed will be on a primary ballot.

Lastly, nothing here is a prediction on which candidates will emerge from their respective primaries.
