The district, encompassing parts of Phoenix including South Phoenix, Laveen, Maryvale, and some areas of Glendale, is a crucial battleground.

The debate featured David Mendoza, an engineer and former teacher, and Jeffrey Zink, a minister and small business owner, both presenting their visions for the future of the district.
