Raúl Grijalva was a true progressive champion, fighting for working people, indigenous rights, and the environment—his leadership will be deeply missed. This special election is a huge opportunity to ensure his legacy continues with a representative who shares his values and commitment to justice. Arizona’s 7th District deserves a strong progressive voice, so we need to stay engaged and make sure corporate-backed candidates don’t take this seat.

Hopefully, this special election gives voters a chance to elect someone who actually values individual liberty and limited government for a change.

Who might run to succeed the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva? Here's who to watch
Before Grijalva's death, State Rep. Alma Hernandez, D-Tucson, publicly criticized his decision to stay in office as his cancer treatment kept him away from Capitol Hill. She and her siblings, Consuelo and Daniel, all have political resumes serving in Arizona's legislature.
