Next up: Nov. 6 General Election! A breakdown of who made it onto the ballot

Flake鈥檚 retirement drew out Republicans U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, former state legislator Kelli Ward, and former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and Democrats U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema and attorney Deedra Abboud.

This year also marks the first time that Gov. Doug Ducey faces reelection.
