Adelita Grijalva is the Member-Elect of the US House of Representatives for the 7th Congressional District in the State of Arizona. 

On March 31, 2025, Grijalva announced she would pursue the Democratic nomination, in a special election, for Arizona’s 7th congressional district.  On July 15, 2025 Grijalva won the Democratic primary.  On September 23, 2025 Grijalva won the special election by 40,000 votes.

With 100% of all district 7 precincts reporting, Cochise, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma, Grijalva won the election with 70,148 votes, with the Republican candidate receiving 29,944 votes; or a difference of 40,204 votes more than her Republican opponent.

On October 14, 2025 the results of the Special Election for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District were certified by Governor Katie Hobbs. Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adian Fontes.

US House of Representatives James Walkinshawa, Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won special elections and were sworn into office within days of their elections, whether or not the House was in session, so why is Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson refusing to swear Member-Elect Adelita Grijalva into office?

He claims it’s because the House isn’t in session, but we know that’s not the real reason based on the fact he has sworn other members into office when the House was not in session.

Speaker of the House Johnson is not doing his job, the entire House of Representatives is not doing their job because they are not in session.  Are they getting a paycheck?

Speaker Johnson during an interview with Kim Strassel of the Wall Street Journal on October 24, 2025 made the following statement when talking about paying our military.  “We don’t know if there’s enough to pay the next paycheck period, which of course is the end of the month”. 

All we have heard from this administration for months is how much money is being brought in by the Tariffs imposed by this President. So where is the money?

We don’t have money to pay our troops, our air-traffic controllers, or any number of other government workers who are working without pay, yet we can pay the U.S. House of Representatives for doing nothing for almost an entire month and we can find an extra $20 billion to assist Argentina with their problems?
