Grijalva would be state’s first Latina in Congress, and Republicans’ House majority could shrink even further
Adelita Grijalva, the daughter of the late progressive congressman Raúl Grijalva, is expected to win a special election on Tuesday to fill the seat left open when her father died earlier this year.
Grijalva faces Republican challenger Daniel Butierez in the heavily blue seventh district in Arizona, which covers the southern parts of the state and the borderland areas.
