Timing for Grijalva’s swear-in in question Adelita Grijalva won CD 7 this week but is feeling some suspense over when she’ll be sworn in and whether that will be delayed in a way that will keep her from making some important votes.

That's a great question, one that everyone including @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social would like to know! www.kgun9.com/news/local-n...

Bold gold outline of Arizona with stars marking key districts. In the center, fully visible large white text reads: “Step One: Sign. Step Two: Win.” The graphic uses strong civic colors and encourages viewers to sign petitions to help Arizona candidates get on the ballot in 2026.

The fight starts now: sign e-petitions to get our AZ champions @repgregstanton.bsky.social @yassaminansari.bsky.social @krismayes.bsky.social and @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on the ballot: apps.azsos.gov/equal/ and let’s win in 2026!

Empty chair with spotlight in front of the Capitol and text questioning Abe Hamadeh’s absence. The background is navy blue. The chair is black. The lettering is a pale yellow and so is the spotlight under the chair.

Hamadeh could ask the administration to review Kelly Yu’s case. He hasn’t — and won’t. @nwvindivisible.bsky.social @azagmayes.bsky.social knows AZ deserves leaders who show up. #AZ8 #AZPoliticshttps://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-republican-censured-helping-immigrant-detained-ice-22694932

A graphic shows a hand holding a pen over a petition form labeled “Petition” with several checkboxes. At the top, bold text reads “Help Candidates Qualify – Sign E-Petitions!” The image uses navy and bright blue civic tones, with a clean, modern design emphasizing participation to support candidates.

Step one: sign e-petitions so our candidates make the ballot. ✍️ apps.azsos.gov/equal/

2026 is critical: re-elect Governor Katie Hobbs, @adrianfontes.bsky.social, @krismayes.bsky.social + protect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, @yassaminansari.bsky.social, @repgregstanton.bsky.social. And yes — flip AZ-01, AZ-06 and AZ-08!

This big win for @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social proves what’s possible when we organize. Let’s carry this energy into 2026 — AZ’s future depends on it.
