General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[3]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

Competitiveness
This section contains data on U.S. House primary election competitiveness in Arizona.
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Arizona in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 23, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirty-nine candidates filed to run in Arizona's nine U.S. House districts, including 10 Democrats and 29 Republicans. That's 4.33 candidates per district, more than the 4.22 candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.11 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Arizona was apportioned nine districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 39 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Arizona's U.S. House seats since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.
One district — the 6th — was open. That’s one more than in 2020, and one less than in 2018. Rep. David Schweikert (R), who represented the 6th district, filed to run in the 1st district. Rep. Tom O'Halleran (D), who represented the 1st district, filed to run in the 2nd district, where incumbent Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D) did not seek re-election.
The 2nd and 6th districts attracted the most candidates this year, with eight candidates running in each. There were eight contested primaries this year — two Democratic and six Republican. That's the fewest contested primaries since 2014, when there were five contested primaries.
Six incumbents — four Democrats and two Republicans — did not face any primary challengers. The 8th and 9th districts were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. No districts were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+16. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 16 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Arizona's 9th the 80th most Republican district nationally.[13]
2020 presidential election results
