This year’s races for state Legislature are shaping up to some of the most contentious in a decade, with the balance of power at the Arizona Capitol on the line.
Republicans have held solid majorities in the Legislature for about a decade. But their grasp on power was rattled this year as the #RedForEd movement shook up the agenda.
