Adelita Grijalva expected to win her late father’s House seat in Arizona special election | Arizona
Adelita Grijalva, daughter of Late Progressive Congress Member Raúl Grijalva, won a special choice to fill the seat left to the left when his father died earlier this year on Tuesday.
Grijalva faced Daniel Butierez, a republican challenge in the heavy blue seventh region in Arizona, which covers the southern parts of the province and the border regions.
Raúl Grijalva has been sitting in March for more than twenty years until his death at the age of 77. His daughter Arizona will be the first Latina sent to the congress.
Filling the seat narrows the advantage of the Republicans in the house where Trump’s “Great, Beautiful Bill” passes with only one vote.
Adelita Grijalva, a long local elected official in Southern Arizona, defended a national interest on the future of the Democratic Party because it was an ongoing debate on the future of the Democratic Party and Raúl Grijalva is one of the many democratic deputies to die this year.
The 54 -year -old young Grijalva encountered criticism of a 25 -year -old, a 25 -year -old main rival Deja Foxx, called Foxx’s “Heritage Surname”. Grijalva defended his own record in politics, but he did not withdraw from his family’s legacy in the region. For 20 years, a Tucson has worked at the school board of directors and has been Pima District Supervisor since 2020. He also received approval from the heavyweight progressive and elected officials throughout the state.
Grijalva, Guardian earlier this year, “I do not use my father’s surname,” he said. “This is mine. I have worked in this community for a very long time-26 years in a non-profit, 20 years of the school board of directors, four years and four months in the supervisory board. I won my surname.”
A advancing Grijalva said that supporting democracy is one of the most important priorities of protecting access to Medicaid and Medicare. If he was chosen during primary education, Medicaid and Green said he wanted to push for a new agreement.
