There is a 99.99% chance that she is elected to Congress on Tuesday. We can\u2019t wait for Rep. Grijalva to join the House of Representatives. She will be a fighter for us. In the second hour, we will hear from Democratic Party leaders in Utah. They will tell us about the current political reality and progressive possibilities in one of the most conservative states in the country. The time is now to support progressive organizing in Utah. RSVP now. From Alan Minsky, Executive Director of Progressive Democrats of America: We are thrilled that Adelita Gijalva is joining us again this Sunday, just two days before the special election to fill the seat previously held by one of PDA\u2019s all-time closest allies \u2013 and one of the greatest Congresspeople of the 21st Century \u2013 Adelita\u2019s father, Rep. Raul Grijalva. We could not be happier about the prospect of Adelita entering the U.S. House of Representatives in a matter of days! Of course, there\u2019s still work to do. So, we\u2019ll talk GOTV, and we\u2019ll organize GOTV! We\u2019ll also hear Adelita\u2019s observations on running for Congress in one of the most challenging periods in recent American history, as well as her reflections on why progressive policies resonate so powerfully with the people of Southern Arizona. Tell your family, friends and co-workers to come and hear the next great progressive Member of Congress, Adelita Grijalva! RSVP Now! From Arizona, we will then go north to Utah. We\u2019re going to take a deep dive into the politics and the progressive possibilities in a place where progressive policy is much needed. Recent headlines have even warned about the Great Salt Lake becominig dangerous to Utahns: \u201cNew research shows that dust storms around the shrinking Great Salt Lake are more frequent &amp; more dangerous than previously thought, carrying toxic particles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progressive Democrats of America Sep 22, 2025 PDA-endorsed candidate Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) will be our featured guest, two days before the general special election in AZ-07.
