    Candidate briefing

    Adelita Grijalva is the U.S. representative for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. She won the 2025 special election to succeed her father, Rep. Raúl Grijalva, and on November 3 she won her first full term, defeating Republican Daniel Butierez, according to NBC News and Associated Press projections. Our Revolution has endorsed her again, and the Working Families Party backed her in the special.

    Wikipedia records her prior service on the Tucson Unified School District board and the Pima County Board of Supervisors.
