Rep. Ben Schweikert won an "inter-family battle" Tuesday in the Arizona primary, defeating fellow Republican Rep. Ben Quayle.

In the battle for the Republican Senate nomination, Rep. Jeff Flake crushed Wil Cardon, a businessman who ran a self-financed campaign.

Quayle called Schweikert shortly before 10 p.m. to concede, The Arizona Republic reported. The primary was one of the most closely watched in the country because it pitted two sitting congressmen against each other -- and one is the son of former Vice President Dan Quayle.

"This was an inter-family battle," Schweikert told supporters before the results were final. "I need you to reach out, whether we win or lose, to start the healing."

Redistricting after the 2010 Census gave Arizona an additional seat in Congress. The new 9th District, seen as a competitive one, includes Quayle's home in Phoenix, and he decided to run in the 6th district instead, which includes many of his former constituents.
