When Flake first campaigned for Congress, he promised to limit himself to only serving three terms (six years). In early 2005, Flake announced that he was no longer going to retire after three terms and announced that he would seek re-election in 2006. Flake was re-elected in 2006 after his Democratic opponent was struck from the ballot for failure to have sufficient valid signatures on his nominating petition.
In 2012, Democrats asked the [[FBI]] and the [[Justice Department]] to review Flake's campaign activities because voters in Arizona had received [[robocall]]s directing voters to the wrong polling locations.<ref>{{cite news|title=Democrats seek Rep.
