The U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.
Voters will decide the mid-term elections for Congress in November 2018, and candidates are already beginning to vie for their attention.
In the three congressional districts that include the Tucson metro area, each incumbent has at least one challenger.
That's 16 months before primary elections, and more than 18 months before the general election. All candidates, incumbents and challengers, have more than a year to qualify for the ballot. Here's who is interested so far:
