The Arizona House of Representatives is the lower house of the Arizona Legislature, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Arizona. Its members are elected to two-year terms with a term limit of four consecutive terms (eight years). Members of the Republican Party currently hold a majority in the House.
The House of Representatives is composed of 60 members representing 30 districts, each with two Representatives. (Multi-member districts are also used in the Washington and Idaho House of Representatives and are less common than the single-member districts used by most state legislatures).
Each Representative represents a district of at least 172,000. The House convenes in the legislative chambers at the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix.

The Speaker is elected by the majority party caucus followed by confirmation of the full House through the passage of a House resolution. In addition to presiding over the body, the Speaker is also the chief leadership position, and controls the flow of legislation and committee assignments. Other House leaders, such as the majority and minority leaders, are elected by their respective party caucuses relative to their party's strength in the chamber.
