Sen. Bernie Sanders Endorses Adelita Grijalva for Congress

Tucson, Ariz. – La Gente for Grijalva announced that Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is the latest progressive leader to endorse Adelita Grijalva in the upcoming Special Primary Election for Arizona’s Seventh Congressional District. In late March, Grijalva appeared with Senator Sanders at a rally in Tucson that drew more than 20,000 people.

“At a time when Trump, Musk, and their billionaire gang are attacking our democracy and ripping off the working class, we need leaders who have the backbone to take them on. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Adelita Grijalva for Congress. Adelita understands that real change never comes from the top down, it comes from the bottom up. She is standing with working families in Southern Arizona and building a grassroots movement to take on the corporate greed that’s driving up the cost of everything – from groceries to housing – while poisoning our air and water. In Washington, Adelita will fight for Medicare for All, climate justice, and an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1%. That’s the kind of leadership we need right now,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“I’m proud to have Senator Sanders’s endorsement. Our fight for working families isn’t just about taking on a few billionaires – it’s about taking on a system that’s rigged against working families. Everyone deserves a fair shot at their American Dream. Here in Southern Arizona, we have the power of the people. Together, we’ll stand up to corporate greed, demand accountability, and make sure that Washington works for everyone, not just the wealthy few,” said Adelita Grijalva.
