Demand Immediate Swearing-in of Rep. Adelita Grijalva

I am writing to express my deep concern over the unacceptable delay in swearing in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva from Arizona. This situation is not just a procedural hiccup; it's a direct threat to our democratic process and the rightful representation of Arizona's constituents. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has already threatened legal action against House Speaker Mike Johnson for this delay. This is not a partisan issue, but a matter of upholding our constitutional rights and ensuring fair representation. Every day that passes without Rep. Grijalva being sworn in is a day that Arizona's voice is diminished in Congress. The ongoing government shutdown makes this delay even more critical. Important decisions are being made, and negotiations are taking place without full representation from our state. This is particularly concerning as Senate Republicans attempt to advance a three-bill 'minibus' package during the shutdown, which could have significant implications for Arizona. I urge you to take immediate action to ensure that Rep. Grijalva is sworn in without further delay. Please use your influence to pressure House Speaker Johnson to fulfill his constitutional duty. If necessary, support any legal actions that may be required to resolve this situation promptly. The integrity of our democratic institutions is at stake. We cannot allow political maneuvering to override the will of the voters and the constitutional right to representation. Act now to protect our democracy and ensure Arizona's full voice is heard in these critical times.
