Arizona Edition

Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar was re-elected to Congress in the 2018 election.  He beat his general election opponent by more than 35%. 

He did not face a primary opponent in the 2018 race.  So far, no Democrat has announced a run in the district.  Democrat David Brill lost to Gosar in the general election in 2018.

You’d think that means he is incredibly popular in Arizona’s 4th Congressional District and a lock for re-election in 2020.

But that is far from all that happens at the busy facility.
