Democrats in Arizona now hold the governorship and both legislative chambers for the first time in 60 years. Republicans previously held 33 of 60 House seats and 17 of 30 Senate seats. Democrats are projected to hold 37 House seats and 20 Senate seats, and Governor Katie Hobbs would receive any bills that pass those chambers.

Giffords assigned Arizona an F ranking on its Annual Gun Law Scorecard. Arizona adopted permitless carry in 2010, and related disputes would go to the Ninth Circuit.
