Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-7) will retain his Congressional seat for the next two years, after winning re-election 20 years after he was first elected to Congress in 2002.
At his watch party on Election night, Grijalva gathered with his supporters and spoke to them not from the stage with microphones, but in a circle as a group. He told KGUN 9 it's that level of community that he focuses on as an elected official.
The congressman told KGUN 9 that in his new term he plans to focus on the border—which had been a centerpiece for both the Grijalva and Pozzolo camps in 2022—and climate change. Grijalva chairs the House Natural Resources Committee, and has been outspoken on issues relating to environmental impacts in Southern Arizona, including mining, environmental justice and funding for electric vehicle infrastructure.
Pozzolo cited his immigrant experience when discussing his positions on the border, and specifically about the wall.
