I’m writing to urge swift action to ensure that Adelita Grijalva is formally sworn in without delay. Her election reflects the will of the people, and any postponement in seating her undermines democratic representation and public trust. Adelita Grijalva has long demonstrated a commitment to equity, education, and community stewardship. Her voice is urgently needed in our governing bodies, and procedural delays—whether bureaucratic or political—must not obstruct the rightful transition of power. Please affirm your commitment to democratic integrity by advocating for her prompt swearing-in. Our communities deserve full representation, and our institutions must reflect the urgency and accountability that this moment demands.
