Arizona's 23rd legislative district is one of 30 in the state, consisting of sections of Maricopa County, Pima County, Pinal County, and Yuma County. As of 2023, there are 65 precincts in the district,[1] with a total registered voter population of 121,771.[2] The district has an overall population of 232,246.[3]
Following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (AIRC) redrew legislative district boundaries in Arizona. The 23rd district was drawn as a majority Latino constituency, with 62% of residents being Hispanic or Latino. According to the AIRC, the district is outside of competitive range and considered leaning Democratic.[4] Despite the AIRC's characterization of the district's politics, Republican Michele Pena won the second House of Representatives seat for the district in 2022.
