Arizona Legislative District 13 includes most of Chandler, Sun Lakes and other small unincorporated patches of southeastern Maricopa County, and small western parts of the Town of Gilbert.
That district will have at least two new state lawmakers this year, as Sen. J.D. Mesnard is term-limited and Rep. Jeff Weninger is running for mayor of Chandler. Rep. Julie Willoughby is giving up her seat and running for Mesnard’s Senate spot.
Candidates in Arizona House races are vying for a maximum of two seats per party in July 21 primaries, while parties will nominate only one Senate candidate that day. In the Nov. 5 general election, the top two vote-getters in Arizona’s 30 House districts win seats, regardless of party, while only one senator is chosen per district.
