Arizona state Senate power hangs in balance as voters go to polls

Republicans and Democrats are fighting for control of the Senate chamber for a hold on lawmaking.

Republicans need to beat Democrats in only a few important state Senate races if they want to usher in a new era of conservative lawmaking in Arizona.

Republican Sen. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, is hoping to keep a Senate seat in the new Legislative District 4, which includes Paradise Valley and parts of north Phoenix and north Scottsdale.

Another district where voters face a stark choice for a state Senate seat is Legislative District 9 in west Mesa, where the only Trump-supported legislative candidate in a competitive district is on the ticket.
