Applaud Democrats for Defending Fair Representation

Democrats are taking a powerful stand for fairness, democracy, and the right of every American to be represented in Congress.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes are demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson immediately seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who was elected weeks ago to represent Arizona’s Seventh Congressional District. Johnson’s refusal to swear her in — despite doing so for Republicans in similar circumstances — has left more than 800,000 Arizonans without a voice in Congress.

Democrats are fighting back. Jeffries and Mayes have vowed swift legal action to ensure Grijalva is seated and Arizona’s voters are represented — a clear message that political games will not silence democracy. This is about more than one seat; it’s about protecting the right of every voter to have a representative in Washington.

Add your name to applaud Democrats for defending democracy, standing up for Arizona’s voters, and fighting to ensure every American’s voice counts in Congress.
