Arizona's 6th congressional district
U.S. House district in Phoenix, AZ's northern suburbs
Arizona's 6th congressional district is a congressional district located in the U.S. state of Arizona and encompasses all of Greenlee County, most of Cochise County, and parts of Pima County, Pinal County and Graham County. It is the only district in Arizona that does not include any portion of Maricopa County. Most of its population resides in suburbs of Tucson, including Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, Marana, Green Valley, and Vail. The district is currently represented by Republican Juan Ciscomani.
Considered a swing district, the 6th district is one of nine congressional districts (out of 435) with a Cook Partisan Voting Index of EVEN, indicating that the constituency, as a whole, does not lean one way or another.
The new 6th district includes a notable military presence. The Fort Huachuca installation is located in Cochise County, approximately 15 miles (24 km) north of the Mexican border, and is within the city of Sierra Vista.
History
Arizona picked up a sixth district after the 1990 census. It covered the northeast quadrant of the state, from Flagstaff to the New Mexico border. Most of its population, however, was located in the northeastern portion of the Valley of the Sun, including Tempe and Scottsdale.

Why this record matters
“Arizona's 6th congressional district” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Arizona's, congressional and district provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4791215. Authority coordinates are 33.667, -111.889. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
