Citizenship Test Answers for Arizona
Four of the 128 civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer them if you live in Arizona.
62. What is the capital of your state?
Answer for Arizona
Phoenix
This is the one state-specific answer that does not change. The three below change with elections. Every name on this page is checked each night against the congressional record and, for governors, two independent public records, and a name is left out rather than printed when the sources disagree.
23. Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now?
Answer for Arizona now
- Mark Kelly
- Ruben Gallego
You only need to give one of these names.
Arizona has two U.S. senators, like every state. You only need to name one of them. Senators are elected to six-year terms, so this answer changes; give the name of a senator serving on the day of your interview.
Look up Arizona's senators at senate.gov
29. Name your U.S. representative.
Your representative depends on your congressional district, not just your state, so it is different for two people living in the same city. Look it up by ZIP code.
All 9 of Arizona's representatives, by district
| District | Representative |
|---|---|
| 1 | David Schweikert |
| 2 | Elijah Crane |
| 3 | Yassamin Ansari |
| 4 | Greg Stanton |
| 5 | Andy Biggs |
| 6 | Juan Ciscomani |
| 7 | Adelita S. Grijalva |
| 8 | Abraham J. Hamadeh |
| 9 | Paul A. Gosar |
If you do not know your district, the lookup below finds it from your ZIP code.
Find your representative at house.gov
Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.
61. Who is the governor of your state now?
Answer for Arizona now
Katie Hobbs
Governors are elected and change, so answer with whoever is serving on the day of your
interview. Your state government's official .gov website is the reliable
place to check.
Background on Arizona
Phoenix is both Arizona's capital and its largest city, which makes it one of the easier capitals to remember; it took the territorial capital from Prescott in 1889, after the seat had already moved between Prescott and Tucson twice before that. Arizona became the 48th state in 1912, the last of the contiguous states, so a map of the lower forty-eight was only complete from that year. It now has 9 congressional districts and 11 electoral votes, having gained seats steadily as the population grew. For the four location questions, remember that the capital never changes while the other three do, and that the representative depends on which of those 9 districts you live in.
This background section is written by US Citizenship Test Practice. It is not part of the USCIS question list, and it names no senator, representative or governor itself: those names change with elections, so they appear only in the answers above, which are checked every night.
