Hello,

This week, VRF endorsee Adelita Grijalva arrived in Washington to begin her
tenure as a member of Congress. She was elected in a special election to
succeed her father, Raúl Grijalva—also a VRF-endorsed champion—and was expected
to be sworn in without delay.

In defiance of precedent, House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed her swearing-in
and has yet to confirm her. Holding up this routine process, even on technical
grounds, undermines the principles of representative democracy. Arizona voters
have chosen their representative, and they deserve immediate, unimpeded
representation free from partisan obstruction.

House leaders refusing to seat duly elected officials sets a dangerous
precedent that VRF strongly condemns. Failing to certify Representative
Grijalva is not a personal slight against her; it is a rebuke of the political
autonomy of every constituent she represents.

Voting Rights Fund condemns any attempt to delay or subvert Representative
Grijalva’s ability to serve her district. She must be sworn in without delay.
Any other outcome would subvert the democratic decision of Arizona’s voters.

that needs to be done. That means building a national bench of lawmakers who
will fight tooth and nail to expand access to the ballot box and protect our
right to vote at every level of government.
