Republican U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomaniβs lead increased again Saturday over Democratic challenger Kirsten Engel in the Tucson areaβs 6th congressional district race.
Ciscomani had 49.2% of the votes tallied so far to Engelβs 48.5%, and a 2,415-vote lead. Vote counting continues and the race is too close to call.
The two have been swapping slim leads in their rematch. Ciscomani narrowly defeated Engel, a former state senator, in the district two years ago.
In the race for Arizonaβs open U.S. Senate seat, Democratic U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego held his lead Saturday despite Republican Kari Lake gaining some ground.

Leach was up by 396 votes, with 50.2% of the ballots counted so far to McLeanβs 49.8%, though McLean had led until now.
