This former GOP stronghold in Phoenix shows how Democrats are gaining ground in Arizona

If Republicans can count on winning any legislative district this year, surely it should be the one that is home to former Vice President Dan Quayle and Gov. Doug Ducey.

But in District 28, they've got a problem.

And at a time when the Republicans’ majority in the state Senate might ride on the fate of this district, plenty of eyes will be on it.

The changing political attitudes in District 28 reflect something broader than the support for any one legislator. The area also shows how suburbs that were once a linchpin of Republicans’ electoral success in the Valley — and, in turn, Arizona — are swinging toward Democrats.
