GIFFORDS PAC congratulates Adelita Grijalva on her decisive primary victory

WASHINGTON — GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, congratulated Adelita Grijalva on her win in the Democratic primary to represent Arizona’s 7th District in the United States House of Representatives.

“My friend Adelita Grijalva is the leader that Southern Arizona needs in Congress, and Mark and I are thrilled that she won tonight’s primary. Throughout her career, Adelita has been a champion for Tucson and our state, committed to addressing gun violence and keeping Arizonans safe. We know she’ll continue this important work in Washington. GIFFORDS PAC looks forward to supporting her this September and continuing to partner with her to save lives across Southern Arizona,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. 

In her decades of public service, Grijalva has prioritized addressing America’s gun violence epidemic at the local level. She has worked to keep Arizonans safe by consistently holding gun safety–focused town halls for youth and providing free gun locks and information on gun safety classes to attendees at local gun shows. While on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, she also sponsored legislation designed to protect Arizona families, including measures to challenge Arizona’s state law that prohibits local governments from enacting their own firearms regulations and to require gun owners to report the theft or loss of a firearm.
