Mendoza Leads Ciscomani in Early CD6 Returns Nov. 3; Counting Continues
Democratic candidate JoAnna Mendoza led incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani 58-39 in the first tally of Southern Arizona's Congressional District 6 results released just after 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, narrowing to 57-41 as more votes were counted. Mendoza declared victory around 9 p.m. at an election night party at the Westward Looks, while Ciscomani told supporters the race would take several days to call. Many ballots remained uncounted in the swing district spanning Pima, Cochise, Pinal, Graham and Greenlee counties, where early ballots still needed verification before tabulation.
