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.
