US EditionAP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Arizona's Special Congressional Primaries
ARIZONA'S 7TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, JUL 15 – Adelita Grijalva erases opponent's lead with strong local endorsements and fundraising in the Democratic primary to succeed her late father in Arizona's 7th congressional district.
- Special primary elections are scheduled for Tuesday in Arizona’s 7th District to select candidates who will compete to fill the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s vacant seat.
- The primaries follow Grijalva's death in March from cancer complications and will select nominees for a Sept. 23 special election.
- The majority-Hispanic 7th Congressional District spans areas between Yuma and Tucson, encompassing portions of six counties, where Democrats hold almost twice as many registered voters as Republicans.
- Five Democratic candidates, including Adelita Grijalva and Daniel Hernandez, and several Republicans such as Daniel Butierez, compete with vote-counting starting after polls close at 7 p.m. local time.
- The winners will advance to a September 23 special election to fill the final 15 months of Grijalva’s term, though this race is not expected to influence the overall balance of power in the House, where Republicans hold a majority.
