Adelita S. Grijalva

Overview

Adelita Grijalva represents Arizona in the U.S. House as a Democrat with a strongly progressive voting record. Across 262 recorded votes, she has shown clear patterns: consistent support for labor protections, environmental regulations, and foreign policy measures that limit military engagement abroad, while regularly opposing Republican-led budget proposals and criminal justice bills. On fiscal matters, Grijalva voted against nearly all major budget resolutions during this Congress, including the fiscal year 2027 budget and continuing appropriations measures. She supported all four labor-related votes that came before her and backed most defense bills focused on veterans' care. In foreign policy, she repeatedly voted in favor of War Powers Resolution measures directing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iran and Lebanon. Her environmental record shows support for ratepayer protections and water resource development, while opposing measures that would roll back EPA authority over state pollution control standards. On taxation, she supported five of seven tax-related votes. Her record on technology, education, and immigration is more limited, with relatively few votes in those categories so far this term. Overall, Grijalva's voting pattern reflects a member who prioritizes workers' rights, environmental standards, restraint in military deployments, and opposition to spending plans she views as insufficient or misdirected. Her record is consistent with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
