'''Arizona's 2nd congressional district''' is a [[List of United States congressional districts|congressional district]] located in the U.S. state of [[Arizona |
'''Arizona's 2nd congressional district''' is a [[List of United States congressional districts|congressional district]] located in the U.S. state of [[Arizona]]. |
||
The district is in the north eastern part of the state and includes [[Apache County, Arizona|Apache]], [[Coconino County, Arizona|Coconino]], [[Gila County, Arizona|Gila]], [[Navajo County, Arizona|Navajo]], and [[Yavapai County, Arizona|Yavapai]] counties in their entirety and portions of [[Graham County, Arizona|Graham]], [[Maricopa County, Arizona|Maricopa]], [[Mohave County, Arizona|Mohave]], and [[Pinal County, Arizona|Pinal]] counties. The largest city in the district is [[Flagstaff, Arizona|Flagstaff]]. |
|||
Before January 2023, Arizona's second congressional district was located in the southeastern corner of the state and included Cochise county and eastern Pima county drawing most of its population from the city of [[Tucson]]. The majority of that district was renumbered as [[Arizona's 6th congressional district]]. The 2nd district essentially took over what was [[Arizona's 1st congressional district]] from 2003 to 2023. |
|||
==District history== |
|||
When Arizona was divided into congressional districts for the first time after the 1950 Census, the 2nd district comprised the entire state outside of the [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] area. Arizona gained a [[Arizona's 3rd congressional district|third district]] after the 1960 Census, and the 2nd was cut back to roughly the southern third of the state, stretching border-to-border from [[New Mexico]] to [[California]]. It ran along the entire length of the border with [[Mexico]]. By far the district's largest city was [[Tucson]]. The next largest city was [[Yuma, Arizona|Yuma]], in the far west. After a mid-decade redistricting in 1967, the district was pushed slightly to the north, picking up a portion of southern Phoenix. This configuration remained largely unchanged until the 1980 Census, when much of eastern Tucson was drawn into the new [[Arizona's 5th congressional district|5th district]]. |
|||
The district includes 12 Native American reservations including the [[Hualapai]], [[Havasupai]], [[Hopi]], [[Navajo]], [[San Carlos Apache]], and [[White Mountain Apache]] people. Twenty-two percent of the district's citizens were Native American.<ref> https://redistricting-irc-az.hub.arcgis.com/pages/final-draft-maps#finalcddraftmaps </ref> |
|||
The 2nd district remained based in southern Arizona until the 2000 Census, when Arizona picked up two districts. At that time, the old 2nd district essentially became the new [[Arizona's 7th congressional district|7th district]], while most of the old 3rd district became the new 2nd district. Located in the northwestern corner of the state, it stretched into the western suburbs of Phoenix, known as the [[West Valley (Phoenix metropolitan area)|West Valley]]. It consisted of all of [[Peoria, Arizona|Peoria]] (within the exception of the portion of that city within Yavapai County) and [[Surprise, Arizona|Surprise]], most of [[Glendale, Arizona|Glendale]] and much of western Phoenix in [[Maricopa County, Arizona|Maricopa County]], all of [[Mohave County, Arizona|Mohave County]], and the [[Hopi Nation]] in [[Navajo County, Arizona|Navajo]] and [[Coconino County, Arizona|Coconino]] counties. |

|||
The size and diversity of the 2nd district (it included nearly all of the northwestern portion of the state) made it appear rural on a map. However, over 90 percent of its population lived in the strongly [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]] West Valley, historically a fairly safe [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] area. |

The odd shape of the district was indicative of the use of [[gerrymandering]] in its construction. The unusual division was not, however, drawn to favor politicians, but was due to historic tensions between the [[Hopi]] and the [[Navajo people|Navajo]] [[Native American (U.S. Census)|Native American]] tribes. Since tribal boundary disputes are a federal matter, it was long believed inappropriate to include both tribes' reservations in the same congressional district.<ref>Pitzi, Mary Jo, 2011.

[[George W. Bush]] carried the district in [[2004 United States presidential election|2004]] with 61% of the vote. [[John McCain]] won the district in [[2004 United States presidential election|2008]] with 60.75% of the vote while [[Barack Obama]] received 38.07%. |

[[John McCain]] won the district in [[2004 United States presidential election|2008]] with 60.75% of the vote while [[Barack Obama]] received 38.07%. During the [[Super Tuesday (2008)|Super Tuesday]], February 5, 2008 Arizona Democratic primary, the district was won by [[Hillary Clinton]] with 54.52% of the vote while [[Barack Obama]] received 35.62% and [[John Edwards]] took in 7.43%. In the Arizona Republican primary, the 2nd district was won by favorite son [[John McCain]] with 49.51% while [[Mitt Romney]] received 29.51% and [[Mike Huckabee]] took in 10.46% of the vote in the district. |
||
After the 2012 census, the bulk of the Maricopa County portion of the old 2nd became the 8th district, while the new 2nd district took in most of the territory of the old [[Arizona's 8th congressional district|8th district]]. That district, in turn, had been the 5th district from 1983 to 2003. In the [[2014 United States elections|2014 midterms]], the district was the last [[2014 United States House of Representatives elections|House of Representatives race]] to be decided, as the official recount began on December 1 due to Republican [[Martha McSally]] leading incumbent Democratic congressman [[Ron Barber]] by fewer than 200 votes. Ultimately, Barber lost to McSally by 167 votes. |

Primary job fields of the people in the district include agriculture, ranching, livestock, mining, and tourism. The main irrigated crops are [[cotton]], [[wheat]], [[Maize|corn]], [[grain]], [[sorghum]], [[alfalfa]], [[hay]], [[apple]]s, [[peach]]es, [[Cherry|cherries]], [[grape]]s, [[pistachio]]s, [[pecan]]s, [[lettuce]], [[Chili pepper|chili]]s, and other vegetables. The area has a multitude of U-pick vegetable farms and orchards, including several organic farms. Greenhouse [[tomato]] and [[cucumber]] operations have been completed in the past few years with much success. In [[Cochise County, Arizona|Cochise County]] there is the U.S. Army base [[Fort Huachuca]] and numerous [[Military-industrial complex|military-industrial]] companies. In suburban and urban areas, [[Wal-Mart]]s are the most abundant superstores. |

|||
Located within the district is [[Northern Arizona University]], [[Diné College]], [[Yavapai College]], [[Prescott College]], and [[ Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University]]. |
|||
===Tourism and recreation=== |
|||
In the [[2018 United States elections|2018 midterms]], McSally retired to run for the U.S. Senate, and Democrat [[Ann Kirkpatrick]] was easily elected to replace her. Following her defeat in the 2018 Senate race, McSally was appointed to the Class III U.S. Senate seat made vacant by the death of Senator [[John McCain]]. |
|||
Tourism is an important industry as the district has numerous natural wonders, national forests, parks, and conservation areas. Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest National Parks highlight the public lands in the district. Other prominent tourist attractions include [[Lake Powell]], [[Sedona]], [[Meteor Crater ]], and the self-proclaimed [https://worldsoldestrodeo.com/ "World's Oldest Rodeo"]. Hiking, camping, fishing, and boating can be found throughout the region. |
|||
The Apache-Sitgraves, Coconino, Kaibab, Prescott, and Tonto National forests are most or partially in the district. The [[Oak Flat (Arizona)]] site is also within the second district. |
|||
== History and demographics == |
|||
[[Athabaskan]]-speaking Native Americans lived in this region long before the arrival of the Europeans who established the [[Arizona Territory]]. In the late 19th century, Apache chief [[Cochise]] and a band of [[Chiricahua]]s built their stronghold on the [[Dragoon Mountains|Dragoon]] range of mountains. The tribe would often ambush and rob passersby as an attempt to keep interlopers off their land. The presence of the tribe deterred the [[European colonization of the Americas|settlement]] of the area for far longer than the rest of the [[Arizona Territory]]. The district, containing a county now called by his name, developed when its varied and valuable resources were found in the 1870s. The discovery of [[silver]] [[mining|mines]] in 1878 in the Tombstone district spurred much growth and [[investment]] in the area. |
|||
== Composition == |
|||
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center;" |
|||
The district is covered by mountains and wide valleys. The district is high desert [[grasslands]] with elevations from 3500 to 6000 feet. Several mountain ranges run through the district with the highest peak in the [[Chiricahua Mountains]] at 9,796 feet. Southeast Arizona is at an ecological crossroads where habitats and species from the [[Sierra Madre Occidental|Sierra Madre]] of [[Mexico]], the Rocky Mountains, and the [[Sonoran Desert|Sonoran]] and [[Chihuahuan Desert|Chihuahuan]] [[desert]]s can all be found. The abrupt rise of mountains from the surrounding [[grasslands]] creates unique [[habitat]]s harboring rare species and communities of plants and animals. The area has a [[semi-arid climate]] with moderate winters and hot summers. Precipitation rarely exceeds one inch in any month other than July, August, and September, when high intensity, but short-lived [[monsoon]] storms can occur. |

Arizona's 2nd congressional district is a congressional district located in the U.S. state of Arizona. The district is in the north eastern part of the state and includes Apache, Coconino, Gila, Navajo, and Yavapai counties in their entirety and portions of Graham, Maricopa, Mohave, and Pinal counties. The largest city in the district is Flagstaff.
Before January 2023, Arizona's second congressional district was located in the southeastern corner of the state and included Cochise county and eastern Pima county drawing most of its population from the city of Tucson. The majority of that district was renumbered as Arizona's 6th congressional district. The 2nd district essentially took over what was Arizona's 1st congressional district from 2003 to 2023.
The district includes 12 Native American reservations including the Hualapai, Havasupai, Hopi, Navajo, San Carlos Apache, and White Mountain Apache people. Twenty-two percent of the district's citizens were Native American.[3]
History
When Arizona was divided into congressional districts for the first time after the 1950 census, the 2nd district comprised the entire state outside of the Phoenix area. Arizona gained a third district after the 1960 census, and the 2nd was cut back to roughly the southern third of the state, stretching border-to-border from New Mexico to California. It ran along the entire length of the border with Mexico. By far the district's largest city was Tucson. The next largest city was Yuma, in the far west. After a mid-decade redistricting in 1967, the district was pushed slightly to the north, picking up a portion of southern Phoenix. This configuration remained largely unchanged until the 1980 census, when much of eastern Tucson was drawn into the new 5th district.
The 2nd district remained based in southern Arizona until the 2000 census, when Arizona picked up two districts. At that time, the old 2nd district essentially became the new 7th district, while most of the old 3rd district became the new 2nd district. Located in the northwestern corner of the state, it stretched into the western suburbs of Phoenix, known as the West Valley. It consisted of all of Peoria (within the exception of the portion of that city within Yavapai County) and Surprise, most of Glendale and much of western Phoenix in Maricopa County, all of Mohave County, and the Hopi Nation in Navajo and Coconino counties.
The size and diversity of the 2nd district (it included nearly all of the northwestern portion of the state) made it appear rural on a map. However, over 90 percent of its population lived in the strongly conservative West Valley, historically a fairly safe Republican area.
The odd shape of the district was indicative of the use of gerrymandering in its construction. The unusual division was not, however, drawn to favor politicians, but was due to historic tensions between the Hopi and the Navajo Native American tribes. Since tribal boundary disputes are a federal matter, it was long believed inappropriate to include both tribes' reservations in the same congressional district.[4] However, the Hopi reservation is completely surrounded by the Navajo reservation. In order to comply with current Arizona redistricting laws, some means of connection was required that avoided including large portions of Navajo land, hence the narrow riverine connection.
George W. Bush carried the district in 2004 with 61% of the vote. John McCain won the district in 2008 with 60.75% of the vote while Barack Obama received 38.07%. During the Super Tuesday, February 5, 2008 Arizona Democratic primary, the district was won by Hillary Clinton with 54.52% of the vote while Barack Obama received 35.62% and John Edwards took in 7.43%. In the Arizona Republican primary, the 2nd district was won by favorite son John McCain with 49.51% while Mitt Romney received 29.51% and Mike Huckabee took in 10.46% of the vote in the district.
After the 2012 census, the bulk of the Maricopa County portion of the old 2nd became the 8th district, while the new 2nd district took in most of the territory of the old 8th district. That district, in turn, had been the 5th district from 1983 to 2003. In the 2014 midterms, the district was the last House of Representatives race to be decided, as the official recount began on December 1 due to Republican Martha McSally leading incumbent Democratic congressman Ron Barber by fewer than 200 votes. Ultimately, Barber lost to McSally by 167 votes.
Main industries
Primary job fields of the people in the district include agriculture, ranching, livestock, mining, and tourism. The main irrigated crops are cotton, wheat, corn, grain, sorghum, alfalfa, hay, apples, peaches, cherries, grapes, pistachios, pecans, lettuce, chilis, and other vegetables. The area has a multitude of U-pick vegetable farms and orchards, including several organic farms. Greenhouse tomato and cucumber operations have been completed in the past few years with much success. In Cochise County there is the U.S. Army base Fort Huachuca and numerous military-industrial companies. In suburban and urban areas, Wal-Marts are the most abundant superstores.
Schools
Located within the district is Northern Arizona University, Diné College, Yavapai College, Prescott College, and Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University.
Tourism and recreation
Tourism is an important industry as the district has numerous natural wonders, national forests, parks, and conservation areas. Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest National Parks highlight the public lands in the district. Other prominent tourist attractions include Lake Powell, Sedona, Meteor Crater , and the self-proclaimed "World's Oldest Rodeo". Hiking, camping, fishing, and boating can be found throughout the region.
The Apache-Sitgraves, Coconino, Kaibab, Prescott, and Tonto National forests are most or partially in the district. The Oak Flat (Arizona) site is also within the second district.
