Adelita Grijalva, is the U.S. Representative for Arizona’s 7th District, which stretches from Tucson south to Nogales and west to south Yuma County including Somerton and San Luis.
Congresswoman Grijalva is serving in the same district as her father, the late Congressman Raúl Grijalva, who served for more than 20 years until his passing in March 2025.
She is the first Latina U.S. representative in Arizona history. She shared with us what it was like growing up in the Grijalva family in Tucson and how she's trailblazing her own path representing the people of Southern Arizona in Washington, D.C.
Congresswoman Grijalva has staff office hours every fourth Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Somerton City Hall.
