Democratic incumbent Greg Stanton is being challenged by a progressive activist in the Democratic primary. Kai Newkirk, who has been arrested 25 times in non-violent protests, argues that Stanton hasn't done enough to stand up to the Trump administration on immigration. If he loses the primary, he would support Stanton in the general election.
