Adelita S. Grijalva

Adelita S. Grijalva represents Arizona’s 7th congressional district in the House, taking office on November 12, 2025 after winning a special election to succeed her father, Raúl Grijalva, who had held the seat until his death earlier that year. A Democrat, she previously served on the Pima County Board of Supervisors from 2021 to 2025 and on the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board for two decades. Her swearing-in was delayed seven weeks during the 2025 federal government shutdown after Speaker Mike Johnson declined to seat her immediately — the longest such delay in congressional history.
