Background

Incumbent Raúl Grijalva died in office on March 13, 2025, from complications from cancer treatment at age 77 after being diagnosed with lung cancer on April 2, 2024.[1]

Writing for The Arizona Republic in May, Laura Gersony noted that the "leading candidates" were Daniel Hernández Jr., Adelita Grijalva, and Deja Foxx; further noting that Hernández held an initial lead in fundraising stemming from supporters of Israel and that Grijalva would likely benefit from some of the campaign infrastructure built by her father.[3] Grijalva received the endorsement of both of Arizona's U.S. Senators, Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, and a number of Democratic political organizations, including EMILY's List and Giffords.[4][5][6]

Grijalva won the Democratic primary on July 15, and will face Republican painting contractor Daniel Butierez.
