Adelita Grijalva announces run for her late father's Congressional seat [View all]


Adelita Grijalva announced on Monday that she will be running for the Congressional seat (CD7) left vacant by her father, the late Raúl Grijalva.

Grijalva died earlier this month after a yearlong battle with lung cancer.

He had served as a U.S. Congressman, for Arizona districts 3 and 7, since 2003. He died before he could finish his final term.


In a statement issued via news release, Grijalva said she was running for Congress, "because Southern Arizona deserves bold leadership that will fight for working families and stand up to Donald Trump."
