The 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Arizona were held on November 6, 2018, to elect the nine U.S. Representatives from the state of Arizona, one from each of the state's nine congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2018 Arizona gubernatorial election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. The 2018 general elections saw the Democratic party gain the 2nd Congressional district, thus flipping the state from a 5-4 Republican advantage to a 5-4 Democratic advantage, the first time since the 2012 election in which Democrats held more House seats in Arizona than the Republicans.

District 4[edit]
The fourth district takes up most of rural northwestern and western Arizona and includes Kingman, Lake Havasu City, Prescott, and San Tan Valley. This is the most Republican district in Arizona with a PVI of R+21. Republican Paul Gosar was reelected to a fourth term in 2016 with 71% of the vote.
This congressional race received national media coverage during the general election after Democratic nominee David Brill aired television advertisements in which six of Republican incumbent Paul Gosar's nine siblings each condemned their brother and endorsed Brill, imploring residents of the fourth district to vote their brother out of office.[55] Gosar responded to this advert with a tweet in which he dismissed his siblings' criticisms and characterized the six siblings as, "disgruntled Hillary supporters" who "put political ideology before family".[56]
