Tucson, Ariz. – Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva has extended the deadline for applications to serve on his veterans advisory council until the afternoon of August 5. The seven-member group, set to be formed later this year, will advise the Congressman on veterans issues and serve as a liaison with the Southern Arizona veterans community.

“The veterans in Southern Arizona deserve the best representation and constituent service I can offer, and I look forward to working with the Council to make sure their needs are always being met,” Grijalva said. “This group will represent a diverse cross section of the district because the entire veteran community needs to be heard. I thank those who apply for their interest and their service, and I’m excited to get started as soon as possible.”

Eligible participants should live in the Seventh Congressional District and be a veteran or veteran spouse or a representative of a veterans organization. Interested candidates should submit a resumé, completed application form, and two letters of recommendation by 4:00 p.m. Arizona time on August 5 to Jose Miranda in Rep. Grijalva’s office located at:

738 N 5th Ave. Suite 110

Tucson, Ariz. 85705
