A governor's race and U.S. House race are inextricably linked in Arizona this year.When U.S. Rep. David Schweikert retired from Congress to run for governor, it opened up a spot in the state's first congressional district. That opened the field for former NFL player and President Donald Trump-backed candidate Jay Feely to win the GOP nomination for that seat in Arizona's July 21 primary. But Schweikert didn't score; He lost to U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, who also won on a pro-Trump platform.And if the GOP wants to hold its slim House majority, that means defending many battleground seats while three in Arizona are targeted by Democrats.Here are the results of Arizona's primary, according to the Associated Press and CNN.Arizona House primary resultsVoters across all nine of Arizona's congressional districts selected candidates for the November election.
