Adelita Grijalva, a Democrat, was officially sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday. This marks more than seven weeks after her election to fill the seat vacated by her father, a prominent figure in Arizona’s political landscape. Following a formal ceremony, Grijalva signed a discharge petition, a crucial legal document, intended to initiate a vote to release previously withheld files concerning a controversial case. The House is currently focused on resolving funding issues, and the release of these documents is a key component of the legislative process.
