Speaker Johnson Won’t Swear In Adelita Grijalva—Demand Action!
Speaker Mike Johnson is blocking Arizona’s newest Congresswoman—and silencing 800,000+ Arizonans in the process.
⚡TL; DR (too long, didn’t read)
In September, Adelita Grijalva made history—winning Arizona’s 7th District special election in a landslide. But House Speaker Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in, denying Arizonans a voice in Congress.
Add your name to demand Republicans seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva immediately.
🔎 Closer Look: Who is Adelita Grijalva and Why Isn’t She Sworn in Yet?
U.S. Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva has long championed reproductive freedom.
As a Pima County Supervisor, she fought to protect access to reproductive care after Roe v. Wade was overturned, and led the effort to condemn the Arizona Supreme Court for upholding the state’s 1864 abortion ban.
Here’s what’s happening now:
- Grijalva won Arizona’s 7th Congressional District in a landslide.
- Her election was historic: she’s the first Latina to represent Arizona in Congress.
- Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in—with no credible reason.
- Republican lawmakers know that Grijalva’s vote could break their slim majority, and because she’ll be a key signature to unlock a vote on the release of the Epstein files.
- Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson has sworn in other newly elected (Republican) officials less than 24 hours after their election—making clear this is a partisan political move.
- As a result, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has warned Johnson he’s violating the Constitution and threatened legal action.
Until she’s sworn in, Congresswoman-elect Grijalva can’t fully open an office or effectively serve her constituents, leaving 800,00+ people without a voice in Congress.
⚠️ The Stakes: Why This Matters
This isn’t just about one seat, it’s about representation and democracy.
Republicans are playing diabolical political games with our rights, our votes, and our voices. They shouldn’t be able to delay duly elected members from taking office.
Take Action
Don’t let them get away with this. Explore ways to get involved with our Arizona State Chapter and sign the petition to urge Republicans to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva:
