Arizona’s 7th Congressional District will have another showdown between U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Goodyear, and Republican Daniel Butierez Sr. Both candidates ran unopposed in their respective primaries.
Previous Matchups
This marks the second consecutive year that voters in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District will choose between the two candidates. In a special election last year, Adelita Grijalva beat Butierez by almost 40 percentage points.
The upcoming November general election will be the third time Butierez, a small business owner, has attempted to win this congressional seat. In 2024, he lost to the late Raúl Grijalva, Adelita Grijalva’s father, by nearly 30 percentage points.
Financial Advantage
Adelita Grijalva has a cash-on-hand advantage over Butierez. She has $427,977 while he has $11,399, according to Federal Election Commission records.
A Republican has never represented the 7th Congressional District since its establishment in 2003.
Arizona’s 8th Congressional District
In Arizona’s 8th Congressional District Democratic primary, Bernadette Greene Placentia defeated Raymond Keeler, according to unofficial election results from the Arizona Secretary of State’s website.
She will now run against U.S. Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Surprise, who ran unopposed in the Republican primary.
