Big news out of Arizona, John:
WFP champion Adelita Grijalva just won her primary in the special election for Arizona’s 7th Congressional district — and she won it decisively:
Adelita now moves on to face a Republican opponent in September, where she is expected to hold onto this solid blue district and become the next Working Families Party champion in Congress.
With your support, this could be our first victory of many in the 2026 cycle. Chip in to help us send more working class champions to Congress in 2026:

Adelita’s victory isn’t just a win for families in Southern Arizona. It’s a win for all those who believe in a government that works for everyday people.
Adelita has been fighting for working people for years, and winning. As Pima County Supervisor, she won free preschool for working families and major investments in affordable housing. And she has proven herself as a powerful and effective leader committed to fighting for her constituents at the local level.
She understands the economic anxieties that working people in her district and across our country are feeling. And she knows that we won’t get anywhere by playing nice with an opposition party that is actively throwing our nation into crisis after crisis.
In our first endorsed federal race of the 2026 cycle, the Working Families Party was proud to help get Adelita over the finish line, spending over $200,000 to reach voters through tactics including targeted ads on TV and digital, and working with our partners to knock on more than 90,000 doors and send over 25,000 texts to young voters across the district.
That’s the kind of effort we need to replicate in district after district.
Republican members of Congress have betrayed their own constituents, kicking millions of them off their health care, ending programs they rely on, allowing ICE to spread more terror in their communities, and putting more of our money in the pockets of billionaires.
We know that it’s not enough to send any candidate to Congress to replace them. We need to elect real champions who will stand up to Trump and the billionaires each and every time.
That’s our plan. Chip in to help power our work to end the Republican majority that has betrayed working people and replace them with folks who will stand with us, not the billionaire class.
