The 1984 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 6, 1984. Voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve a two-year term. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including U.S. House and State Senate. Primary elections were held on September 11, 1984. [3]

Contents

Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 39 seats over the Democrats' 21 seats.

Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber, though their majority was reduced to 38 Republicans to 22 Democrats, a net gain of one seat for Democrats. [4]

The newly elected members served in the 37th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican James J. Sossaman was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House. [lower-alpha 1]
