Thank Arizona Leaders for Standing Up to Speaker Johnson

In a powerful defense of democracy and transparency, Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego stood up to House Speaker Mike Johnson — demanding that he immediately swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Johnson is refusing to seat Grijalva, even though she won her election fairly, because she has pledged to be the decisive 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. His political obstruction is denying Arizona voters their rightful voice in Congress and undermining the will of the people.

Senators Kelly and Gallego made it clear that this abuse of power won’t stand. They confronted Johnson directly, calling out his excuses and demanding accountability. Their courage shows what leadership looks like: putting democracy and truth before partisan games.

Representative-elect Grijalva’s victory narrowed the Republican majority to just five seats — and her swearing-in would help Democrats hold Trump and his allies accountable. By delaying her oath, Johnson is trying to silence voters and block transparency.

Add your name to applaud Senators Kelly and Gallego for standing firm, demand that Speaker Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva immediately, and stand up for democracy, transparency, and the rule of law.
