Spanning Cochise, Pima, and Santa Cruz Counties
Raúl Grijalva
For 22 years, Raúl Grijalva, a champion of working people, represented Southern Arizona, until he passed away from lung cancer on March 13, 2025. It was, as US Representative from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, says, “A genuinely devastating loss.” Grijalva set a high standard as our representative. We thank him for his work as we strive to elect a new Democratic representative who will continue the legacy of Grijalva to put the working people of Congressional District 7 first.
