SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – A Democratic candidate running Arizona Congressional District 7 made a stop in Somerton Saturday.
Adelita Grijalva hosted a meet and greet at 85350 Sports & Pizzeria from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., where she got to know people living in Yuma County and talk about what’s important to them.
Grijalva is running for a seat left vacant by her father, the late Congressman Raul Grijalva. She shares a piece of advice her father shared that she’ll be carrying with her during her campaign.
“When you’re speaking for whoever you’re speaking for, make sure that you’re speaking their truth, like who you’re representing. What is their truth? Talk to people, listen to people and never forget. It’s not about fighting. It’s who you’re fighting for. So that was the advice he gave me,” Grijalva shared.
Grijalva is running against Republican candidate Daniel Butierez. They will be participating in a debate Tuesday, August 26.
Both candidates will be facing off in the Special General Election on Tuesday, September 23.
