Rep. Adelita S. Grijalva Takes Record Legislative Action on Week One

WASHINGTON, D.C. –– Today, Representative Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) released the following statement after she signed on to co-sponsor 56 bills, just one week after being sworn in. 

On Tuesday, she was assigned to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Today, she attended her first meetings for both Committees, delivering opening remarks at the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

“The Speaker might have delayed my swearing in but he can’t stop me from acting immediately to fight for the needs of Southern Arizona,” said Congresswoman Grijalva. “From expanding paid leave, healthcare and childcare, to lowering costs, restoring environmental protections, and defending our communities from illegal ICE raids – this legislative agenda reflects the real needs of my constituents.”

“Working families in Southern Arizona and throughout the country are struggling to get by under the Trump economy. These bills are practical solutions to some of the most urgent challenges facing our communities, and I look forward to getting them across the finish line.”

Among other legislation, Grijalva took action to fulfill promises to cosponsor the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act which reinstates restrictions for ICE to enter schools, churches, hospitals and other sensitive locations; the Women’s Health Protection Act which restores a nationwide right to access abortion care; the Child Care for Working Families Act which aims to provide universal pre-K and cap childcare costs for families; and the Protecting Healthcare and Lowering Cost Act to overturn the Republican healthcare cuts and restore the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits to lower costs.
