Adelita Grijalva for Congress in AZ-07
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Adelita Grijalva for Congress in AZ-07 — a lifelong organizer, education advocate, and progressive leader fighting for Southern Arizona families and immigrant communities.
We were proud to back Adelita in her campaign last year, and we’re proud to stand with her again as she runs for a full term in Congress representing Arizona’s 7th District.
Adelita stepped up to run after the passing of her father, longtime progressive champion Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who spent decades fighting for labor rights, environmental justice, immigrant communities, Indigenous sovereignty, and progressive change in Congress.
But Adelita isn’t simply carrying forward a legacy — she’s built one of her own.
Before being elected to Congress in 2025, Adelita served for years on the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board and later on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, where she focused on public education, affordable housing, environmental protection, and expanding opportunity for working families.
Her campaign is deeply rooted in Southern Arizona and grounded in the belief that government should work for ordinary people — not corporations or billionaire donors.
As her campaign puts it: “Community-rooted. Southern Arizona strong. One of us. Fighting for all of us.”
Adelita is running for re-election to continue fighting for public schools, labor rights, environmental justice, healthcare access, immigrant communities, and economic opportunity in a district that has long been a center of progressive organizing in the Southwest.
She has also emerged as a strong progressive voice willing to stand up to MAGA extremism and attacks on democratic institutions. After winning this seat last year, House Republicans delayed swearing her into office for weeks during a government shutdown standoff — a move widely criticized by Democrats and voting rights advocates.
Adelita currently faces Republican Daniel Butierez, a repeat GOP challenger backed by conservative interests.
And while massive outside spending transformed last year’s Arizona special election into a national battleground, Adelita continued building a grassroots coalition powered by labor, progressives, Latino communities, young voters, and movement organizations.
At a time when too many politicians cave to corporate pressure and billionaire influence, Adelita Grijalva has remained grounded in community organizing, public service, and progressive values.
That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse her once again.
When we organize, we win. ✊
