Woo hoo!!! Local news is gonna cover it live and we're gonna watch it!
TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva will be sworn in on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson made the announcement Tuesday afternoon.
Johnson’s office said it would happen on the House floor around 2 p.m. Arizona time.
Grijalva won the special election in September, but was not sworn in. Johnson has said the delay was due to the shutdown, which could be ending this week.
Johnson has denied the delay was due to Grijalva being the final vote needed to possibly force the release of the Epstein files.
On Monday, Grijalva released the following statement after hearing about a possible deal to end the government shutdown:
“I am planning to travel to Washington, D.C. after hearing through Leader Jeffries and media reports that Speaker Johnson finally intends to swear me in. This delay never should have happened in the first place. For seven weeks, 813,000 Arizonans have been denied a voice and access to basic constituent services. This is an abuse of power that no Speaker should have.”
“During those same seven weeks, Republicans have kept the government shut down while intentionally inflicting economic strain on the American people as leverage to advance this administration’s cruel agenda. For people working paycheck to paycheck, paying double for healthcare is not an option. A promise for a vote is no guarantee that relief will come, and means little coming from leaders who blocked my swearing in and continue to protect Trump at any cost.”
“While I am eager to get to work, I am disappointed that one of my first votes will be on a bill that does nothing to protect working people from skyrocketing premiums, loss of health coverage, or do anything significant to rein in Trump’s abuse of power.”
