Arizona’s special election could further reduce the majority of the GOP house

The special elections Tuesday in the 7th district of the Arizona Congress should largely reduce the already thin majority of the GOP in the American house.

Democrats benefit from a recording advantage of voters from nearly two to one compared to the Republicans in the district of the left -wing congress in the south of Arizona, which extends from Yuma to Tucson and includes almost the duration of the state border with Mexico.

The Pima County Democrat supervisor, Adelita Grijalva, the daughter of the deceased member of the Congress, faces special elections against the owner and entrepreneur of small businesses Daniel Boutrez, the republican candidate, with two third -party candidates also on the ballot.

“At the Congress, I undertake to fight against Trump’s cruel agenda, such as the Big Ugly Bill which removed the coverage of nearly 383,000 Arizonians and 142,000 children,” promised Grijalva in a social media position, while aiming at President Donald Trump, the Republicans of Congress and their measurement of domestic policy.

Boundrez, meanwhile, has promoted to the candidate for change in a district controlled by the Democrats since the creation of the headquarters more than two decades.

“It is your chance to obtain a representative who will represent everyone. If you vote, we win, if you will not only have the radicals will have a representation,” he wrote on X.

The winner will serve the remaining 15 months of the Mandate of the elder Grijalva, who died in March following complications in cancer treatment.

The Republicans are currently controlling house 219-213, with three vacant seats.

In addition to the 7th district of the Arizona Congress, there is also a vacancy in the 18th District of the Texas Congress, a district strongly dominated by the Democrats in Houston, following the death of March of the Democratic representative Sylvester Turner. The special election to fill the headquarters will take place on November 4, which is the 2025 election day.

The 7th district of the Tennessee Congress, a right -wing seat where the Republican representative Mark Green resigned in July to take a job in the private sector, is also currently vacant. The special election to fill the headquarters will take place on December 2.

In Arizona, the young Grijalva, thanks in part to her family name and his support for the national progressive stars of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York, took more than 60% of the primary vote this summer during a force test at five candidates.

The progressive activist and influencer of social media Deja Foxx has largely come.

Grajalva, if it were elected, would become the first Latina of Arizona at the Congress.

Voitrez, who as a candidate of the GOP 2024 congress lost against the elder Grijalva while Trump narrowly wore the state of the southwest battlefield at the top of the ballot, easily won the republican primary this summer in the special elections.

While Trump transported Arizona last year after having lost it in 2020, the candidate for the Democratic Presidency 2024 and the president of the vice of the time, Kamala Harris, won the 23 -point district.
