Arizona's 6th legislative district is one of 30 in the state, consisting of all of Apache County and sections of Coconino County, Gila County, Graham County, Mohave County, Navajo County, and Pinal County. As of 2023, there are 108 precincts in the district,[1] with a total registered voter population of 151,306.[2] The district has an overall population of 225,474.[3]
Following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (AIRC) redrew legislative district boundaries in Arizona. The 6th district was drawn to guarantee a majority Native American constituency, with 61% of residents being non-Hispanic Native Americans. According to the AIRC, the district is outside of competitive range and considered leaning Democratic.[4]
The district is represented in the 56th Arizona State Legislature, which convenes from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, by Theresa Hatathlie (D-Coal Mine Mesa) in the Arizona Senate and by Mae Peshlakai (D-Cameron) and Myron Tsosie (D-Chinle) in the Arizona House of Representatives.[5] [6]
