EMILYs List Endorses Adelita Grijalva for Congress

Tucson, Ariz. – La Gente for Grijalva announced that EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Adelita Grijalva for election to Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. EMILYs List joins a wide array of federal, state, and local elected officials from throughout Arizona’s Seventh Congressional District that have endorsed Adelita Grijalva for Congress. 

“I’m deeply honored to receive the endorsement of EMILYs List and to have them as a partner in this fight. For decades, they’ve led the charge to elect pro-choice Democratic women and protect reproductive freedom. At a time when the president and the far right are actively working to roll back our rights and threaten women's health – the stakes have never been higher. Together, with EMILY’s List by my side, we will protect women now and for future generations.” said Adelita Grijalva.

“EMILYs List is proud to endorse Adelita Grijalva to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. At a time when our nation is under assault by a reckless and cruel administration, we need bold and battle-tested leaders like Grijalva, a champion for working families who will fight for her community and to defend our fundamental rights and freedoms. She is ready to stand strong against Trump and his billionaire cronies. We are honored to support her in this election,” said EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler.

The Special Primary Election is scheduled for July 15, with the Special General Election scheduled for September 23. The voter registration deadline for the special primary is June 16, and early voting begins on June 18.
