the nation watching a pivotal political night in our state. >> familiar names in unfamiliar territory are predicted tough battles for senate and sheriff. >> and key congressional contests as well, and that's where we start as well. melissa blasius is covering district 5, and this is a crowded race >> reporter: it has been a

primary here in congressional district 5 which is the southeast valley congressional district. very heavily republican district, and right now we are at christine jones' headquarters, where she's been up since the first vote totals came in. a lot of people giving a lot of credit to the political ads she ran, maybe this guy looks familiar, and as a result tonight has been a big night for this outsider candidate. jones came into the room 45 minutes ago, shook hands, thanked a lot of her volunteers and supporters privately. a few minutes ago we were told they hoped she'd make announcement soon, any minute to the crowd here to talk about tonight's race so far. there are a lot of smiles here, and they hope to provide good news any minute now. you know congressional district 5 was held by matt salmon who's

way republican battle. jones is joined by biggs, olson and stapely. a crowded field, and the reason is night is such a big deal in this part of valley is because since it's such a conservative district, whoever wins tonight is likely going to guarantee themselves a ticket to washington come january. we'll bring you christine jones as soon as to speak to the crowd. back to you. >> we'll check in with you soon. thank you. another big race for maricopa county recorder helen purcell. it's essentially a dead heat with cam englishing aaron a -- challenger aaron flannery. and a lot of people saying this was john mccain's toughest primary battle yet. jon erickson is live at the headquarters, and in the end it wasn't all that close.

>> reporter: steve, john mccain's opponent kelly ward was optimistic late into the night, but the person celebrating victory in the building behind us tonight was indeed senator john mccain. read into the political tea leaves as you will, but flake was here and he's been a critic of donald trump. kelly ward has been dubbed by salon magazine at lady trump. a lot of energy at the rally tonight, but it wasn't enough. hear some of what mccain said tonight. >> i promise to work as hard as i can for you too, and to fight for policies principal and principals i believe are essential to building a better future for arizona and america, and making the world safer for our shared values. there's a lot at stake in this

who win it is presidency >> reporter: so kelly ward hit mccain from the right. now it's congresswoman anne kirkpatrick's job to hit him from the right. the general election campaign starts right about now steve. >> expected to be a tight race as well. thanks so much. maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio will be on the november ballot as most expected. he easily beat his main face off against the democrat who's already questioning if arpaio at age 84 is too old for another term. here was his response to that tonight. >> age means nothing. i think that's an insult to discriminate, i can't even say that word, to discriminate against senior citizens. >> you'll hear more from arpaio in a few minutes about donald trump's big speech scheduled

>> reporter: this is a night you guyed worked really hard for, so i hear the headphones in the back super distracting, but i'll say this. >> thank you for being here, and for every single person who voted, thank you for voting. for every single person who knocked on a door when it was 118 degrees out, thank you applause ] >> i will say i admire and i want to acknowledge and honor my opponents tonight.. this was a heart-fought campaign. every single person in this case came out and did their best and offered their service and to them i'm grateful. together they have represented the people of their communities for almost 40 years, and i give them my honor and thanks for that as well.

[ applause ] >> you've the christine jones' camp. the race begins again, starting now. we don't know what's causing it, but the results page at the secretary of state's website has been down on and off tonight. likely all the people trying to check the results. th at the time good news is you can follow them on the ticker right now at the bottom of your screen, and more results still to come, including in the 1st congressional district and

speech tomorrow, and for more on that we bring in navideh forghani, and he's not the only one speaking. big line up in the works here. >> reporter: yeah, a huge line up tomorrow. a lot of energy. i just found out who's speaking. here's the order right now. governor ducey, joe arpaio, and mayor dewitt and rudy iliani. they're excited also about to opportunity to meet the president of mexico. >> i think the main thing is at least meet, have that meeting, talk, if there's any problem, discuss it. work together, and see what we can do for the good of both countries. >> you're going to see an

clarity as it relates to the immigration here in arizona. >> reporter: yeah, gop chairman robert graham tells me that trump is picking arizona to unveil the policy because of the controversy in our state, so he wants to unveil it right here tomorrow. they are expecting protesters like you guys said. of course they're not worried about security at all. we're of all the speeches on -- coverage of the speeches on abc 15 and www.abc15.com. and breaking news on the streets of phoenix. this have video just coming in where a street vendor was apparently pistol whipped in the back of the head. armed hold up. the robber got away with about a hundred bucks, firing a shot at the ground as he took off. incredibly nobody seriously hurt, but there's not a detailed district of the guy

it tougher to catch him. and it was brief but powerful. a storm knocking down power lines and trees and tearing off roofs in scottsdale. crews tonight still trying to repair power lines. air 15 also up over the valley tracking rain and dust around rush hour, mostly in the east valley, and here's an up close look at the dust. take a look. really intense. a viewer doing the right thing here, pulling over and wait tonight things pretty quiet not just here, but across the state, but monsoon moisture is in place, and storm chances remain in the forecast for the next couple of days. in the valley a slight chance, and more blowing dust is possible before drying things out again. coming up we'll look at the storm chances and a sneak peek at what to expect over the labor day weekend. new information tonight about a pair of burglars on the run. we showed the heist a couple of weeks ago as they collected

phoenix home. our viewers taking action, leading police right to one of the suspects, and nohelani graf shows us the key to catching him. >> reporter: you might call them the bickering bandits. >> just do it and get it over with. >> reporter: or the big mouth burglars. oneover them a paranoid prowler over and over urging his accomplice to leave. but the most tossed around? michael. putting that name to a good look at this face was all it took for a viewer to make the gut feeling a reality. michael hines busted, and police could end up connecting him to more break ins, and hoefully making the -- hopefully making the connection to his partner in crime too. in phoenix, nohelani graf, abc 15 news.

the family after little girl hit by a police officer as she ran out to get ice cream. the man and his wife haven't left her daughter's side, so tonight the employees pooledth their times a-- their tips along with 15 percent of the sales to help with daily expenses. >> it's emotional for us because we're like a family here, and something happening to them happening to us, and there were a lot of tears, a lot of what can we do. >> their daughter remains in a medical sleep state. he's known for his rapping, and now he has an even longer rap sheet. the latest on chris brown's arrest. and finding a good home is hard enough, but one man made

we upped the ante at culver's to create the new crispy southwest chicken sandwich. all-natural, whole white meat chicken breast. topped with spicy pepper jack cheese and jalape?o ranch. on a lightly buttered, toasted ciabatta roll. the perfect cheese for pepper jack is going to be creamy and mild, the spiciness of the peppers. you're going to taste the cheese first, and then you're going to get just a little bit of warmth from the peppers. it's really good. a bold new flavor and only here for a limited time. mmmhmm.

happening now, singer chris brown in jail, interviewed by la detectives after a bizarre scene at his southern california mansion. all starting when a woman called police asking for help saying brown pointed a gun in her face. in an instagram video brown insists he's innocent, but he's been in repeated legal trouble since his felony conviction in 2009 for assaulting his then girlfriend rihanna. new at the best of an accused scam artist wanted in four states, including ours. scottsdale cops say he conned people into putting a deposit down into rental properties he didn't own, but victims caught on quickly. >. and a reward is no longer on the table in the freeway shooting case. with the prime suspect cleared of all charges, the money they
