Thats right ladies and gentelmen, this was the agenda of Ruben Gallego of the Arizona 7th District. A feat which he accomplished with no small margin either. He steamrolled the competition in the most awesome display of badassery that has ever graced these United States.
Ruben Gallego was the incumbent in the 2016 house elections, as he faced off against Republican Eve Nunez. He won an astonishing victory of 75.6% to Nunez's 24.4%. Meaning that 3/4 of the citizens in the 7th district cast their vote for Ruben

Why does this matter you ask? Well to make my point clearer, lets look at the 2014 district election. In the 2014 house election, Ruben Gallego won with 74.9% of the vote while the remaining 25.1% was spread amongst 5 other candidates. How badass was that?https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona%27s_7th_Congressional_District_election,_2016
The information on the last two primaries indicates that Ruben Gallego has actually EXPANDED his lead over other parties and candidates. This could be due to the fact that he has only missed 40 of the 1,424 votes on bills that have been proposed and voted on in his term. Meaning that he misses 2.8% of votes. This is on par with the national average of 2.1. Another reason for his re-election could be because of his support for more lenient immigration laws.

Ruben sponsors two main issue areas in the House:
1.) Armed Forces and National Security (No doubt due to his former service in the Marine Corps.)
2.) Crime and Law Enforcement
Due to the information presented above, my hypothesis is that Ruben will win by a margin of 76.3% to 23.7% for whomever decides to step up and challenge Ruben Gallego again. Therefore, I hypothesize that Ruben is safe for another election.
