Adelita Griarba, daughter of late Arizona Southern Congressman Raul Griarba, won the July 15th Democratic primary and will be in the driver’s seat to take over her father in Congress.

The Associated Press called for the race late Tuesday evening, with Grijalva winning 62% of the vote. Arizona’s Deep Blue 7th The Congressional District supports Democrats, and Grijalva will be placed in Prime position to win the special general election scheduled for September 23rd.

Former MP Grijalva passed away in March in 1977 after spending more than 20 years in Parliament. He is one of three House Democrats who died during his time in office this year, leaving a vacant seat in his lower room.

His 54-year-old daughter came to the top in Tuesday’s primary, beating a handful of fellow Democrats for the nominations, including top competitors Deja Foxx and Daniel Hernandez.

The 25-year-old FOXX is a generational Z social media strategist and activist who has won the recognition of national names that campaigned on the promise of generational change. Her bids gained support from Democrats like David Hogg, an activist and former party co-visiting chairperson who has become openly involved in the major party’s desire for change.

Hernandez, 35, a former state legislator and former intern at Gabby Giffords, ran a more gentle campaign against Grijalva and Foxx.

Adelia Grijalva, a former member of the PIMA County Board of Supervisors, follows in the progressive footsteps of her father, known for defending the environment and indigenous causes during her tenure.
