Democrat Adelita Grijalva delivered a thundering victory in the special election for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District Tuesday night, beating her Republican opponent by more than 40 points. Her victory will fill the Democratic vacancy in congress left by her father, the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, and deliver the 218th and final needed signature on Rep. Thomas Massie’s bipartisan discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Jeffery Epstein files.
Grijalva’s 43-point victory on Tuesday trounces even her father’s 26-point victory over his Republican challenger in 2024. Raúl Grijalva was a Democratic stalwart who held his seat in congress representing Tucson, Arizona for more than two decades. Kamala Harris won in Grijalva's district by 22 points in 2024.
