Arizona lost political heavyweight, Raúl Grijalva. What happens next?

Raúl Grijalva, the dean of Arizona’s congressional delegation who
spent more than 40 years in public service, succumbed to lung
cancer last week. He was 77. His loss is felt by his family,
friends, colleagues and constituents. But the search for his
replacement has already began. Gov. Katie Hobbs has set a date for
the special election to fill his empty spot in Congress and notable
names like Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Adelita Grijalva,
his daughter, and politician in her own right, have expressed
interest in representing District 7. This week on The Gaggle,
a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and
azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo
Pitzl are joined by national politics reporter Laura
Gersony. Together they retrace Grijalva’s career and discuss what
comes next in Congressional District 7. Later in the episode, Ron
and Mary Jo break down the reality of what could transpire when his
seat is filled and more about Ron's experiences interviewing
Grijalva over the years. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
