The 1998 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 3, 1998, with the primary election held on Tuesday, September 8, 1998.[8][9] Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms.[10]
The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and Arizona Senate.[8][9]
Following the previous election in 1996, Republicans held a 38-to-22-seat majority over Democrats.[11] Republicans expanded their majority in 1998, winning 40 seats. At 20 members, Democrats saw a net loss of two seats.[12] The newly elected members served in the 44th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Jeff Groscost was re-elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[b]
