Overview

• Adelita Grijalva secured about 62 percent of the Democratic primary vote, outpacing challengers Deja Foxx and Daniel Hernandez.
• Republican painting company owner Daniel Butierez won his party’s primary and will face Grijalva in the Sept. 23 special general election.
• Her nomination effectively ensures her election in September and extends her late father’s progressive legacy in southern Arizona.
• The primary drew major investments and endorsements from national groups such as the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the League of Conservation Voters and David Hogg’s PAC.
• Grijalva’s anticipated victory will modestly bolster Democrats in the House and increase pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson’s slim Republican majority.
