Good morning, Arizona. Here’s what our reporters are working on and what you should know before you start your day.

Polls across Arizona will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Key races involve Mesa mayor, Maricopa County recorder and Kari Lake running for the U.S. Senate Republican nomination.

More about Arizona’s election, including races in the state Senate and House.

Who will earn the US Senate Republican nomination?

A U.S. Senate primary contest Republicans long hoped to avoid should end Tuesday with voters choosing which type of conservative loyal to former President Donald Trump they want to challenge Democrat Ruben Gallego in the Nov. 5 election.

Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1945: Japanese submarine I-58 torpedoed the USS Indianapolis shortly after it delivered key components of the atomic bomb to Tinian Island in the South Pacific Ocean. The attack killed almost 900 men, with some dying during the four days they waited to be rescued, succumbing to shark attacks, dehydration and saltwater poisoning.
•	In 1956: The phrase “In God We Trust” became the national motto of the U.S. after President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a joint resolution by Congress. The phrase was to be printed on all forms of American paper currency.
•	In 1965: In a landmark moment for health care, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed amendments to the Social Securities Act of 1935 into law, creating two federal health programs: Medicare and Medicaid. The two programs provided health care for those 65 years or older (Medicare) and for the financially distraught (Medicaid).
•	In 1974: President Richard Nixon handed the subpoenaed White House recordings to special prosecutor Leon Jaworski after being ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court to do so. At the same time, the House Judiciary Committee voted on a third article of impeachment against Nixon.
•	In 1975: Corrupt union leader James “Jimmy” Hoffa disappeared in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, never to be heard from again. Hoffa, who served as the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, was known to be heavily involved in organized crime and was thought to have been murdered by the Mafia.
•	In 2003: The last classic Volkswagen Beetle, the Type 1, rolled off the production line in a Puebla plant in Mexico. Volkswagen officially ended the Beetle line of cars completely in July 2019.
