U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva speaks at the Grand Canyon on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019. Grijalva, D-Arizona, was at the Grand Canyon to announce his Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act, which would permanently ban uranium mining near the Grand Canyon.

Rep. Raúl Grijalva was one of the 27 Democrats who voted against a bill that would augment security for Supreme Court justices.
