The 2006 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, with the primary election held on Tuesday, September 12, 2006. [6] [7] Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms. [8]

Contents

The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Arizona governor, and Arizona Senate. [9] [10]

Following the previous election in 2004, Republicans held a 38-to-22-seat majority over Democrats. [11] [12] [13] During the legislative session, Representative Cheryl Chase switched political party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. [a] Republicans maintained their majority in 2006, though the GOP majority narrowed to 33 seats. At 27 members, Democrats experienced a net gain of six seats. [6] [9] [10] The newly elected members served in the 48th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Jim Weiers was re-elected as Speaker of the Arizona House. [b]
