- Arizona will hold a special election on December 2 to fill the 7th Congressional District seat left vacant by Raúl Grijalva’s death in March.
- Grijalva died from complications of cancer treatment, triggering a race between his daughter Adelita and Republican Daniel Butierez for the remaining term.
- The district stretches from Yuma to Tucson, has a large Hispanic population, and Democrats hold nearly a two-to-one voter registration advantage.
- Adelita Grijalva raised $1.3 million, won over 60% in a five-way Democratic primary, and earned endorsements from Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
- The election outcome could slightly reduce the Republican House majority of 219-213 but will not determine overall control of the chamber.
