Following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (AIRC) redrew legislative district boundaries in Arizona. The 6th district was drawn to guarantee a majority Native American constituency, with 61% of residents being non-Hispanic Native Americans. According to the AIRC, the district is outside of competitive range and considered leaning Democratic.^[4]
