Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich leads leads January Contreras by over 81,000 votes. The Republican attorney general has made news in the last year for appealing the courts to take away DACA recipients driver's licenses and in-state tuition. They were able to keep driving, but not pay in-state tuition. He also sued to kill Obamacare.

January Contreras is a former prosecutor and policy advisor.

After the Associated Press declared him the winner in the race for Arizona governor, Doug Ducey released the following statement:

"Arizonans have voted, and they have spoken. I am incredibly humbled by the confidence Arizonans have placed in me and honored to continue working on their behalf. To everyone who volunteered their time and energy as part of our campaign, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This victory would not be possible with you.

I want to wish David and his family all the best. And I also want to thank Angel Torres for stepping up and bringing his ideas to this race. With the campaign over, it’s time to come together—as we’ve done these last four years—with a renewed focus on moving forward as one Arizona.

We’ve come a long way these last four years, but there’s more to do to grow our economy, improve public education, protect public safety, and expand opportunity for all.

Tonight, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get to work to continue securing Arizona’s future."

Throughout the evening (R) Martha McSally and (D) Kyrsten Sinema have been taking the lead back and forth in the race for Arizona's US Senate seat. McSally started off strong with a majority of the early ballot votes, but as the numbers trickled in Sinema quickly caught up and is now only 10,285 votes behind. This race will end with Arizona's first female US senator in history.

McSally is stepping down from her position as US Representative in Arizona's Congressional District 2 to take a shot at the Senate. In previous years, she had a record of being a more moderate Republican, but has embraced a strong conservative platform since this election cycle began. Before her time in politics, she served in the US Air Force for 26 years. Most notably, McSally is the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat in United States history.

Sinema, a current US Representative for Arizona's 9th District, was born in Tucson and began her political career as a Green Party candidate. She switched to the Democratic Party and was then elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 2004 and the Arizona State Senate in 2010. Sinema had a record of being left-leaning and engaging in political activism, but currently shies away from liberal politics and the Democratic Party at large.

Green Party candidate Angela Green has 30,998 votes, a number that could have easily swayed the race one way or another if it went to either of the major parties. The Arizona Republican Party paid for mailers that were sent out on Thursday, which was the same day that Green dropped out of the race and endorsed Sinema instead. The mailers were sent to the homes of registered Democrats, and made claims that Green was "too liberal for Arizona" in an attempt to sway votes in her direction at the last minute.

Gary Harrison, who served as a division director in the clerk’s office for 30 years, beat out Toni Hellon's reelection bid for the Clerk of the Superior Court for Pima County.

"I've always been a confident person," Gary Harrison said at the Pima County Democratic Party election night party. "But it was everyone here that made me able to do this."

Hellon has served as Clerk of the Superior Court since 2013, when she was appointed by Gov. Jan Brewer to replace former clerk Patricia Nolan. Before getting involved in the clerk's office, Hellon served as a Republican state senator from 2001 to 2006.

At the Pima County Republican Party's election night event, Hellon said this is the last political campaign of her career. She is happy about the way her campaign went, claiming she pursued a 1-on-1 style of connecting with voters.

"I did a lot of personal notes, handwriting, I did notes to high propensity voters in areas where nobody goes," she said. "Places like Ajo, Mount Lemmon, Picture Rocks."

Marquez Peterson thanked her friends, family and campaign team as she conceded her run for Congress to political veteran Ann Kirkpatrick.

"I'm gonna still stay very involved in the community," she said. "I'm very excited about what could potentially happen in the future...This race is really about the community and about Southern Arizona, so I look forward to working with each of you as I stay here and stay engaged."

The business woman is well known locally as the president and CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. She's historically had an open dialog with press and moderate views, such as opposing an end to DACA. During the race, she largely stopped taking calls from news outlets and leaned right to stay in step with the President's agenda.

Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick, who previously held the CD1 seat before moving to Tucson to be closer to family and/or run for CD2, had name recognition and national support. Kirkpatrick won by over 19,000 votes.

Raul Grijalva won his ninth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, beating out his opponent Republican Nick Pierson.

"Let's reflect on this moment," Grijalva said. "And the moment says the Democrats did damn well."

"It doesn't matter what the Republicans say, this is a referendum." Grijalva said. "There is a challenge ahead of us, and I welcome that challenge."

Reflecting on the theme of the night, Grijalva described the House of Representatives as now being the "touchstone of the American people."

Democratic candidate Victoria Steele is projected to beat Republican challenger Randy Fleenor in Arizona Senate District 9, which stretches from Casas Adobes and midtown Tucson to the Sabino Canyon area.

Steele, who served in the State House of Representatives from 2013-2016, is currently leading Fleenor by 16,102 votes, as of 9:52 p.m. Tuesday.

The state legislator threw her hands toward the sky from the lectern, thanking the crowd for their support in her victory speech.

"This was a referendum, we are now a check, we are a check on all of the horrible things that this GOP administration is doing," Steele said. "From D.C. to the capital of this state, we are a check on their anti-women, anti-immigrant and anti-environment agenda."

The former television news and radio anchor served two terms in the House of Representatives before moving to the State Senate.

Steele is thrilled to return to Phoenix to send a message to Governor Doug Ducey, who won reelection earlier in the evening on Tuesday.

"We are going to hold that line right now, and once I get up there, I will work my heart out for you guys, thank you," she said.

Longtime state legislator Andrea Dalessandro is well on her way to defeating Republican challenger Shelley Kais in the Arizona Senate District 2 race.

Dalessandro, who served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2012-14, moved on to the Senate four years ago.

Her district, which includes much of Tucson, as well as parts of Sahuarita and Green Valley in southern Pima County, voted overwhelmingly to send her back to Phoenix.

As of 9:48 p.m., Dalessandro had a commanding 17 percent lead over Kais, virtually assuring her reelection.

Dalessandro thanked her constituents for their support on Election Night, saying her victory speaks to the bond she shares with those that live in the region.

"It feels terrific, because I’m a strong voice for Southern Arizona," she said. "I support the teachers and the students, and that’s what motivated me to run a decade ago."

Dalessandro said she's hopeful that the onslaught of women that won their elections at the state and federal level on Tuesday speaks to a demographic shift in America.

She also was hopeful that her longtime friend and former statehouse colleague Krysten Sinema would win her Senatorial campaign.

"I have personal relationships with both Congresswoman Sinema and Congresswoman [Ann] Kirkpatrick. They’re both personal friends of mine," Dalessandro said. "And I know that 45’s message—he got his base out—but he really motivated women across America to vote for other women, for professional women that work hard."

Dalessandro, who also knocked off Kais by double-digits in 2016, believes she's the right person to vouch for those that live in and around Pima County, saying she's thrilled to go back to the statehouse to represent everyone.

"I wish we had more pickups in the Arizona legislature, but, I’m ready to be a strong voice for Southern Arizona," she said.

It seems Arizona voters have decided against Proposition 127, which would have required electric companies to receive half their energy from renewable sources by 2030.

If it had passed, Prop. 127 would have effectively increased an existing requirement passed by the Arizona Corporation Commission in 2006. This mandate, known as the Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff (REST), already requires regulated electric utilities to generate 15 percent of their energy from renewable resources by 2025.

The proposition was backed by the NextGen Climate Action committee, a PAC founded by billionaire philanthropist and environmentalist Tom Steyer. The NextGen-backed, pro-environment campaign is called “Clean Energy for a Healthy Arizona.”

The proposition was opposed by multiple large corporations, including Tucson Electric Power and the Pinnacle West Capital Corporation, owner of the Arizona Public Service power company. Pinnacle West’s anti-Prop.

As of reporting, 69 percent of voters turned down Prop. 127, while 30 percent approved.

LD9 House incumbents Randy Friese and Pamela Powers Hannley have steady lead over Ana Henderson, in repeat of 2016 election. Henderson says she's not interested in doing interviews.

LD9 Senate candidate Victoria Steel has handy lead on her Republican opponent, a primary candidate write-in, Randy Fleenor.

LD 11, on the other hand, looks like it's going to stay red. Republican Vince Leach is leading Democrat Ralph Atchue. House incumbent Mark Finchem and City of Maricopa Constable Bret Roberts are leading Democrat Hollace Lyon although she raised more money than either.
