The 1988 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 8, 1988. Voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve a two-year term. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate. Primary elections were held on September 13, 1988.[3]
The 1988 impeachment and removal of Governor Evan Mecham caused turmoil in Arizona politics and spilt the state Republican Party, resulting in the ouster of many Republican lawmakers who had voted in favor of impeaching Mecham, including Speaker of the House Joe Lane.[4][5]
Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 36 seats over the Democrats' 24 seats.
Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber, though their majority was reduced to 34 Republicans to 26 Democrats, a net gain of two seats for Democrats.[6]
The newly elected members served in the 39th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Jane Dee Hull was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[lower-alpha 1]
In January 1989, Representative Hull became the first woman elected Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives.[8]

Effect of the Impeachment of Governor Evan Mecham
On February 8, 1988, the Arizona House of Representatives voted to impeach Governor Evan Mecham. This caused a schism in the Arizona Republican Party since the House was controlled by Republicans and the Governor was also a Republican.[10][11]
The table below summarizes the impeachment votes of each member on Feb. 8, 1988 and their subsequent fate in the 1988 elections.[12]
