Once a reliably red state, Arizona has become increasingly purple
over the last decade.  When it comes to the 2020 election,
it's districts like Arizona's 9th Congressional District that could
swing outcomes on the federal level.  The 9th Congressional
District falls in the heart of the Valley. It includes east
Phoenix, Tempe, south Scottsdale and parts of Mesa and Chandler.
It's home to some of Arizona's largest employers, such as State
Farm Insurance and Arizona State University.  The district was
originally drawn as one of three competitive House seats in
Arizona. Back when it was created, Republicans had a 3 percentage
point advantage. Today, Democrats have an 8-point edge.  What
does that shift mean for President Donald Trump and former Vice
President Joe Biden? How could changing sentiments in one
congressional district shape the outcome of November's election? To
find out, we talked to Representative Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.), who
has served the district since 2018. We also talked to three
different voters — one Democrat, one Republican and one
Independent — to get their pulse on 2020. We asked them about
which issues matter most to them, including climate change, health
care and the Supreme Court vacancy. And we found out who they'll
vote for in November.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
