2014 Arizona's 7th congressional district election
The 7th district is heavily Hispanic. It is located primarily inPhoenix , and includes portions ofGlendale and the town ofGuadalupe . The incumbent was DemocratEd Pastor , who had represented the district since 2013, and previously represented the 4th district from 2003 to 2013 and the 2nd district from 1991 to 2013. He was re-elected with 82% of the vote in 2012 and the district has aPVI of D+16. Pastor did not run for re-election.[ 40]
Pastor's retirement presented a "once- or twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for an open safe Democratic seat in Arizona and was predicted to set off a "free-for-all" in the primary that could "eclipse" the 10-candidate primary for retiring CongressmanJohn Shadegg 's seat in 2010. Because of this and Arizona's "resign-to-run " law, political consultant Mario Diaz predicted a "domino effect, from federal (offices) all the way down to city (councils)."[ 41]
