Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva, the daughter of Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, said Monday that she will run for the Tucson-area seat vacated by her father’s death earlier this month.
A Pima County supervisor, Grijalva cited standing up to President Donald Trump as a prime reason for her entering the special election for Arizona’s 7th District.
“Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their gang of billionaires are destroying our nation,’’ she said in a statement. “They’re destroying our schools. They’re attacking our most sacred rights. They’re poisoning our environment. But together, we will stop them. This fight starts right here, right now, in southern Arizona.”
