Arizona's 6th congressional district encompasses parts of Maricopa and Pinal counties. It is mostly made up of eastern suburbs of Phoenix.

It is currently represented by Jeff Flake, a Republican. George W. Bush received 64% of the vote in this district in 2004.

Competitiveness

This East Valley seat in Maricopa County contains parts of Mesa, Chandler and all of Gilbert and the fast-growing town of Queen Creek; it also contains the city of Apache Junction in Pinal County. A heavy Mormon population in Mesa and Gilbert and its suburban nature give this seat an unmistakable GOP flavor.
