Adelita Grijalva (D) defeated four other candidates in the special Democratic primary for Arizona's 7th Congressional District on July 15, 2025. Those candidates were: Deja Foxx (D), Patrick Harris Sr., Daniel Hernandez Jr. (D), and Jose Malvido Jr.. Foxx, Grijalva, and Hernandez Jr. led in fundraising, endorsements, and media attention. The primary was the first step towards the Sept. 23, 2025, special election to fill the vacancy created when the previous incumbent, Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), died on March 13.
Leading up to the election, The Arizona Capitol Times' Reagan Priest wrote, "The outcome of the primary in the deep blue district will demonstrate to the party’s top brass what kind of candidate Democratic voters are looking for and the issues they want that candidate to focus on."[1]
According to Axios Phoenix's Jeremy Duda, "The race initially appeared like a two-way contest between Grijalva and Hernandez, but Foxx has gained traction."[2] Duda wrote that Grijalva "touts herself as a progressive and boasts big-name endorsements, including U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez." Duda wrote that Hernandez "previously ran in the neighboring 6th District and had a reputation as a moderate who worked with the Republican majority."[2] Duda also wrote that Foxx "describes herself as the race's change candidate."[2]
Foxx founded the organization GenZ Girl Gang.[3] According to the organization’s official website, it "works to foster collaboration between womxn of all ages through mentorship, intergenerational events, and informative posts."[4] Foxx also worked as a content creator, signing a contract with Ford Models Inc. in 2020.[3]
According to Foxx’s campaign website, "As someone who relied on Medicaid, SNAP, and Section 8 housing while growing up, Deja knows first-hand how critical these programs are to millions of Arizonans. When Trump and his billionaire buddies attempt to line their pockets by gutting Medicaid and essential services that help families get by, Deja will fight back because for her, it’s personal."[5]
Grijalva, who is Raúl Grijalva’s daughter, represented District 5 on the Pima County Board of Supervisors from 2021 to 2025. She served as an at-large member of the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board from 2003 to 2023. Her professional experience included working as the director of Pima County Teen Court, a diversion program for teens.[6]
Grijalva said she was running for Congress, "because this community, Southern Arizona, deserves the bold leadership that they've had with my dad for the last 22 years. At this time in our nation, we can't negotiate with a party of extremists, and you need people who are going to stand up for something. I'm going to stand up for Southern Arizona."[7]
Hernandez represented District 2 in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023. He served as an at-large member of the Sunnyside Unified School District Governing Board from 2011 to 2019. His professional experience included working as the associate executive director for the nonprofit Stand for Children.[8]
Hernandez said running for Congress was "an opportunity for me to once again serve the community that raised me and give other people a shot at the American Dream that I got [and] make sure that we're having somebody who goes to D.C. who can be a voice and an advocate for so many of these programs that are on the chopping block because of the Trump administration and the MAGA extremists that are enabling them in Washington."[9]
In April 2025, the Arizona Secretary of State's Office compiled a voter registration report showing that 40% of registered voters in the district identified as Democrats, 21% identified as Republicans, and 39% identified as members of a minor party.[10]
According to Roll Call’s Daniela Altimari, "The winner of the Democratic primary will be heavily favored in the Sept. 23 general election."[11] In the 2024 general election for the district, Raúl Grijalva defeated Daniel Butierez (R) 63% to 37%. Additionally, in the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris (D) won 61% of the vote in the district to Donald Trump’s 38%.
At the time of the election, five special elections had been called for the 119th Congress. From the 113th Congress to the 118th Congress, 80 special elections were held. For more data on historical congressional special elections, click here.

Submitted Biography: "I’m Patrick Harris, Sr., and I’ve had a unique journey. I was a high school dropout who started at Burger King. I worked my way through college, earned an MBA, held the top-floor corner office at a Fortune company, and ultimately retired as the President & CEO of a nonprofit by age 44. I’ve led teams in both the private and nonprofit sectors and built coalitions across industries. I’m also a father of six, a former member of Mensa, and a prolific innovator. I’ve lived the flaws of our rigged system, from economic hardship to healthcare obstacles, and I’ve created a bold solution to fix it: Capitated Capitalism (aka “Cap The Cap”). It’s a nonpartisan policy that ends extreme wealth hoarding and reignites the American Dream for everyone else. While politicians complain about the problem of hoarded wealth/billionaires, I created the solution and wrote the legislation. You can read the legislation and sign the petition at capthecap.com. I’m running for Congress because we need real-world problem solvers, not partisan performers. I created Cap The Cap to serve the people, not special interests. The best way to protect Cap The Cap from corruption is to lead it through Congress myself."

Cap The Cap lowers costs, fights inflation, increases wages, grows the economy, stabilizes retirement savings, funds public programs, reduces per capita taxes, and puts us on a path to pay down the national debt. I’ve built a free, interactive AI at CapTheCap.com. Ask it anything about the draft 28th Amendment and see the impact for yourself.
I support a simple, powerful incentive to strengthen democracy: a tax credit for voting. Every eligible citizen who files a tax return and casts a ballot, no matter who they vote for, earns a credit. This nonpartisan solution rewards civic engagement, boosts voter turnout, and encourages more Americans to participate in shaping our future. It gives power back to the people and makes your vote truly count.
Everyone talks about healthcare for all, but it never happens because no one explains how to fund it. I have a plan: “MFN-plus.”
MFN ensures government-funded healthcare pays no more than the lowest price for the same drug or service. The “plus” allows hospitals, pharmacies, etc. to cancel private insurer contracts that trigger MFN, pushing private insurers to pay more than taxpayers. This keeps providers solvent while saving taxpayers billions, funding better care for more people at lower cost.
I aim for America to have the best care available for the most people at the lowest cost for taxpayers.George Washington, for his courage and leadership. His “cannot tell a lie” story inspired me to plant a cherry tree, which still stands tall on my uncle’s property today. Sun Tzu, for his strategic brilliance and understanding of power without unnecessary conflict. John Nash, for his revolutionary insights into game theory and how cooperation can lead to better outcomes. Alfred Nobel, for transforming his legacy into one of peace and progress.
I admire those who shaped the world we live in today, and I aim to be part of the leadership that shapes the world of tomorrow.My background in game theory and innovation (I’m a former Mensan and the architect of Capitated Capitalism) means I approach every challenge like a strategist. I identify root causes, model incentives, and design solutions that work in the real world.
Just as important, I’ve felt the weight of medical debt, unemployment, and single-parent worries, so my empathy is earned, not imagined. I’m transparent by default, quick to master new policy domains, and unafraid to challenge groupthink, yet disciplined enough to listen first and collaborate across party lines.
Finally, my journey and faith keep me grounded and mission-focused on leaving Congress and the country better than I found it.It also means being a steward of the public trust, which includes, but is not limited to, managing budgets responsibly, defending democratic institutions, and preparing the country for the future. Ending extreme wealth hoarding, fixing healthcare costs, and incentivizing civic engagement can help restore the American Dream, but the work doesn’t stop there. We need leaders who can plan for the future (AI, Defense, Education, etc.).
At the end of the day, the true responsibility of a statesman is to leave Congress better than they found it.Capitated Capitalism isn’t just a policy; it’s a framework to end extreme wealth hoarding, restore the American Dream, and unleash human potential on a global scale. If I can help set that in motion and prove that leadership rooted in service, not self-interest, is still possible, that’s a legacy worth fighting for.
And if one day my children, or their children, live in a world where dignity isn’t rationed, innovation is reinvested, and hope is common again, then I’ll know I left the world better than I found it.I’ve been homeless. I’ve battled addiction. I’ve lived through medical debt, divorce, depression, and bankruptcy. There was even a time I planned my own exit, not out of selfishness, but because I felt I had nothing left to give.
But I survived, fought my way back, and through the struggle, I found purpose. My struggles gave me empathy. They taught me that pain doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re human. Suffering gives us an opportunity to earn that empathy. I use those lessons to fight for people who feel unseen, unheard, or left behind.Unlike the Senate, which tempers change, the House is where bold ideas are introduced, debated, and tested. That makes it the ideal place for fresh solutions to take root, like Capitated Capitalism, tax reform, and AI policy.
The House holds the power of the purse, the authority to initiate revenue bills, and the power of impeachment. Its diversity and constitutional responsibilities give it a unique ability to shape the nation’s future.If you limit terms for individuals to three (3) terms in the House, then within six (6) years, you lose all institutional knowledge. That’s not good. However, if you limit a single “seat” to the same terms, then the individual can move to another seat (different district or chamber).
I believe limiting terms for a seat forces great members of Congress to move around, shake hands with new members of the community, and continue earning their place in Congress. Further, incumbent members who aren’t adding value will find it difficult to stay in Congress when they have to explain their track record to voters in a new district.The judge asks the first boy, "What's your name?", and the boy says, "Donald". The judge asks the boy, "Why are you here?" to which the boy responds, "I was caught throwing Peanuts into the lion's cage." The judge asks the second boy, "What's your name?", and the boy says, "Barack". The judge asks the boy, "Why are you here?" and the boy says, "I was caught throwing Peanuts into the lion's cage." The judge looks at the police officer and says, “You really brought me these boys over a minor infraction?” The police officer smiles and says, “Please continue, your honor”. The judge looks at the third boy and asks, “What’s your name?”
The boy says, “I’m Peanuts!”Investigations should be fact-driven, not headline-driven, and focused on rooting out corruption, protecting taxpayer dollars, and holding both public and private institutions accountable. Whether it’s corporate fraud, government waste, or abuse of power, the goal should always be to restore and maintain trust in our institutions.
Oversight is a tool for transparency and reform, not revenge or political agendas. The House must be as courageous in investigating itself as it is in investigating others.

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Arizona in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 26, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

The 3rd and 8th Congressional Districts were open in 2024. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-03) ran for the U.S. Senate, and Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-08) ran for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
Nine candidates—six Democrats and three Republicans—ran for the 1st Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Arizona in 2024.
Eight primaries—two Democratic and six Republican—were contested in 2024. That's the fewest since 2014, when five primaries were contested.
Three incumbents—all Republicans—were in contested primaries in 2024.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all nine districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.Partisan Voter Index
