Tucson, Ariz. – Adelita Grijalva, Democratic candidate in the Special Election for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, announced a powerful and growing coalition of support from leaders in both chambers of Congress.

“I’m humbled and honored to have the support of so many champions for working people from across the country. This coalition reflects the energy behind our campaign — a campaign rooted in values, powered by people, and focused on delivering for families in Southern Arizona. From economic justice to reproductive freedom to protecting our democracy, we are building a movement to get results — and I’m proud to have these leaders standing with us,” said Adelita Grijalva.
This growing coalition underscores Grijalva’s reputation as a fighter for progressive values and someone who is ready to deliver real results in Congress. With a focus on affordable healthcare, environmental justice and climate action, and equitable economic growth, Grijalva’s movement continues to gain traction with grassroots supporters and national leaders alike.
