In lieu of a committee update (whether or not someone may have formed a committee, unless they're on a ballot, it's irrelevant), I'll be discussing Democratic candidates who don't face primary contests; most will go on to face Republican candidates in November. A few, by virtue of facing no other candidates in either the primary election or the general election, are presumed to be already elected*.
*Subject to change based on legal challenges and/or write in candidates.
I make no predictions concerning the outcome of pending litigation, and while write-in campaigns are tough to win (to appear on a general election ballot, not only does a write-in candidate have to win their primary, they must receive a number of votes equal to or greater than the quantity of nominating signatures they would have needed to present to have their name on the primary ballot), it *has* been done.
The Arizona Secretary of State has a list of candidates who have submitted signatures; federal, statewide, legislative.
AzBlueMeanie at Blog for Arizona has a full list of federal candidates here and a full list of state-level candidates here.
Jim Small at the AZ Mirror also has a full list of candidates here.
The map of the new congressional districts is here.
The map of the new legislative districts is here.
