Democrats win the Arizona House, Senate and governor's office for the first time since 1966
The Associated Press called enough legislative races to confirm that both chambers flipped on Friday.
Democrats have taken full control of Arizona's state legislative chambers and the governor's office for the first time since 1966, marking a significant shift in the state's political landscape. Governor Katie Hobbs, who led the Democrats, had previously vetoed more than 540 measures passed by the Republican-led Legislature on issues ranging from taxes to voting laws. As the Democrats made substantial gains nationwide in recent elections, they also secured control of both chambers of Congress.
