AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Arizona's special congressional election
Adelita Grijalva leads with 62% in the Democratic primary and holds a $1.3 million campaign fund, while Daniel Butierez raised $72,000 for Arizona's 7th District special election.
- On Tuesday, voters in Arizona's 7th Congressional District will elect a representative to serve the remaining 15 months of the term.
- Democratic U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva's March death prompted a vacancy in Arizona's 7th Congressional District, which stretches from Yuma to Tucson and includes parts of six counties.
- Grijalva entered the final stretch with about $109,000, reporting about $72,000 in contributions and a $136,000 loan, endorsed by Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, and Arizona's Democratic senators.

- As of Aug. 25, voter rolls showed more than 478,000 registered voters and nearly 83,000 ballots cast in the July special primary in the district's six counties including Maricopa, Pima and Pinal.
