- Late-U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s death left a vacancy in CD7
- Three popular Democrats, including Grijalva’s daughter, have filed for the seat
- The race will be a battle between moderate and progressive Democrats
The stage is set in the race to fill late-U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s seat in Congressional District 7 after candidates filed nomination petitions on April 14 to secure their spot on the ballot.
In a race that is all but certain to be decided in the primary, all eyes have been on the Democratic candidates Adelita Grijalva, Daniel Hernandez and Deja Foxx.
All three submitted far more than the required 798 signatures to make the ballot by the deadline, with Grijalva submitting the most at 1,812.
