John,
Adelita Grijalva just won her special election in Arizona's 7th Congressional District by nearly 40 points. Southern Arizonans made their voices heard loud and clear: they want Adelita fighting for them in Congress.
But instead of respecting the will of voters, Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans are trying to delay Adelita's swearing-in — playing games with our democracy for their own political gain. EMILYs List is calling on Speaker Johnson to seat Rep.-elect Grijalva immediately. (Did we mention that when two Republicans won special elections earlier this year, Mike Johnson swore them in less than 24 hours later?)
Arizona's 7th has been left without representation for too long. With a government shutdown underway and health care for millions on the line, Republicans are showing us exactly why we need more Democratic pro-choice women in Congress: they will never stop putting politics before people.
That's why EMILYs List is fighting not just to seat Adelita, but to elect more women like her who can help flip the House in 2026.
We can't afford to wait. Chip in today to help elect Democratic pro-choice women and take back the House:
| DONATE $15 | DONATE $35 |
| DONATE $50 | DONATE $100 |
| DONATE $250 | DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT |
Together, we can make sure Republicans don't get away with silencing voters — and that in 2026, we have a House majority made up of women who will defend our rights and our democracy.
Thank you for being in this fight,
- EMILYs List
