According to early results, incumbent Democrat Rosanna Gabaldón led with 37 percent, while Sunnyside School District Board member Daniel Hernandez Jr. had 34 percent of votes and recent law school graduate Aaron Baumann recorded 29 percent.

District 9 covers part of central Tucson and the Catalina Foothills, Flowing Wells and Casas Adobes neighborhoods. Democratic incumbent Randy Friese took the most votes with 42, while Pamela Powers Hannley's 33 percent was edged out incumbent Matt Kopec, with 25 percent.
-
District 10 runs from from east of the University of Arizona to the northern and eastern boundaries of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the edges of Saguaro National Park and the Coronado National Forest. Incumbent Democrat Stefanie Mach led with 36 percent while challengers Kirsten Engel and Courtney Frogge took 33 and 31 percent, respectively.
