Deep-blue Arizona congressional district is up for grabs. Who will fill Raúl Grijalva’s shoes?

  • Arizona's 7th Congressional District seat is open for a Democratic primary on July 15, with the general election set for September 23 in Phoenix.
  • The vacancy follows former Rep. Raúl Grijalva's death in March after over two decades in Congress representing this deep-blue, largely Latino district.
  • Key Democratic candidates include Adelita Grijalva, the late congressman's daughter and frontrunner with strong establishment support, Daniel Hernandez, a former legislator credited with saving Gabrielle Giffords' life, and progressive activist Deja Foxx.
  • Adelita has backing from Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Arizona senators Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, while Hernandez appeals to working-class voters with an economic focus; Foxx emphasizes generational change and activism.
  • The primary reflects ideological and generational divides within the Democratic Party, and the winner will likely secure the safe seat amid GOP candidates contesting their own July 15 primary.
