Arizona Congress: What’s Happening in the State’s Federal Representation

When following Arizona Congress, the elected officials from Arizona who sit in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Also known as Arizona’s congressional delegation, it influences national legislation that directly affects the Grand Canyon State. This tag brings together stories about bills, committee work, and election battles that shape everyday life in Arizona.

One of the core pieces of the puzzle is the U.S. House of Representatives, the lower chamber where Arizona’s nine representatives vote on federal laws. Their work is tightly linked to the U.S. Senate, the upper chamber that provides equal representation for each state, including Arizona’s two senators. Together, these bodies form the legislative engine that powers the country. The Arizona Congress therefore requires coordination across both chambers, and its success often hinges on bipartisan deals that can pass both the House and the Senate.
