Arizona's District Seven Arizona was the second-fastest growing state in the 1990s, expanding its population by 40 percent and earning two new seats in Congress as a result. One of those new seats will be filled from the southwestern part of the state, which borders Mexico. The area has long been dominated by Hispanic culture, and now its Hispanic residents see a chance to send one of their own to Washington. NPR's Linda Wertheimer reports from Arizona.
