PHOENIX – Cronkite News projects that Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Prescott, will win his re-election bid against Democratic and Libertarian contenders.

Gosar is running against Democrat Mike Weisser and Libertarian Chris Rike.

Gosar serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the House Natural Resources Committee.

During his tenure in Congress, Gosar has focused on bringing jobs to his district, reforming health care and stopping government spending, according to his website.
