The late Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s (D-AZ) daughter is expected to sail to victory in Arizona’s special election Tuesday, slimming Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) razor-thin majority and likely forcing a House vote on Jeffrey Epstein’s case files.
Adelita Grijalva is poised to beat Republican Daniel Butierez in a race to fill her father’s 7th Congressional District seat, marking the second special election this month. She won the crowded Democratic primary with many endorsements from both Arizona Sens. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with those on the progressive Left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Raúl Grijalva died of complications from cancer treatments at the age of 77, just two months after having begun his seventh term in the House. Adelita Grijalva is seeking to finish her father’s term, a situation similar to when the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee died and her daughter, former Rep. Erica Lee Carter, finished her term.
The special election could be a turning point in the release of more files related to Epstein, the deceased convicted sex offender.
