Adelita Grijalva is a veteran of both Tucson’s school board and the Pima County Board of Supervisors. She’s also the 54-year-old daughter of the progressive icon Rep. Raúl Grijalva, whose death in March kicked off the special election for his U.S. House seat in Arizona that she is now favored to win.

The race to fill Raúl Grijalva's seat is expected to be a three-way contest, with the former congressman's daughter in the slight lead.

The July 11 ruling overturns a previous ruling that prevented candidates other than those selected by the party from running under the party's banner.

Conventional wisdom says Arizona Democrats will elect another Grijalva in CD7. But if they go with a young upstart they could rock the party.

Top Arizona Democrats are taking the unorthodox step of circumventing the state party by fundraising through the Navajo County Democratic Committee.

The estimated 700 members of the party's statewide committee are scheduled to meet on July 16 to decide whether to retain Chair Robert Branscomb II.
