Arizona's 8th congressional district
After redistricting much of the old 5th district was reconfigured to be the new 8th. This consisted of Southeastern Arizona including all of Cochise County and parts of Pima, Pinal and Santa Cruz counties. Incumbent Republican Jim Kolbe, who had represented the district since 1985, ran for re-election. He was re-elected with 60.2% of the vote in 2000.
