U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar won Arizona's Fourth District primary election on Aug. 4 with 62% of the vote.
He is a current member of the House of Representatives after being elected in 2011, according to Ballotpedia. His term is set to end on Jan. 3, 2021, but he is running for re-election in the congressional district.
