Pete Rios was a member of the Arizona House of Representatives and the Arizona Senate, serving two stretches in the Senate and a single term in the House. He first ran, unsuccessfully, for the House in 1980.[1] In 1982 he ran for the State Senate, winning the seat from Arizona's 7th District.[2] He won re-election in 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, and 1992.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] He served as the Senate President during the 40th Legislature from 1991 to 1992. In 1994, he did not run for re-election to the Senate, instead choosing to run for the Arizona Secretary of State, a bid for which he was unsuccessful. In 1996 Rios once again ran for the Senate, regaining his seat in District 7.[8] He won election three times, the first two in 1998 and 2000 to District, and then to District 23 in 2002, after re-districting.[9] [10] [11] In 2004, due to Arizona's term limit laws, Rios was unable to run again for the Senate, and chose to run for the House seat from District 23, which he won.[12] He won re-election in 2006.[13] He did not run for re-election in 2008.[14]
