Congressional District 7 Special Election Debate airs Thursday

Thursday, August 21 at 5 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

This Thursday, don’t miss an “AZ Votes” special election debate between Daniel Butierez (R) and Adelita Grijalva (D), candidates for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, to replace the late U.S. Representative Raúl Grijalva (D).

Raúl Grijalva, Adelita’s father, was one of the most senior and influential progressives in Congress. Following in his footsteps, Adelita Grijalva has made defending democracy, protecting immigrant rights and preserving access to Medicaid and Medicare central to her campaign.

Daniel Butierez, a painting company owner and the Republican nominee, captured more than one-third of the vote in the 2024 election against Raúl Grijalva. He is prioritizing issues like homelessness, crime and border security in the district.

Watch the debate at 5 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on air, on our YouTube channel AZPBS Now, or catch a replay of this AZ Votes special election debate on our website.
