The 2008 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, with the primary election held on Tuesday, September 2, 2008.[4][5] Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms.[6]
The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. President, U.S. House, and Arizona Senate.[7][8]
Following the previous election in 2006, Republicans held a 33-to-27-seat majority over Democrats.[9][10][11] Republicans expanded their majority in 2008, winning 35 seats. At 25 members, Democrats experienced a net loss of two seats.[4][7][8] The newly elected members served in the 49th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Kirk Adams was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[a]
