The Arizona Democrat won her race in September, but Speaker Mike Johnson has waited to swear her in until today. Grijalva has vowed to be the decisive signature in a bid to release the Epstein files.

House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered the oath of office to U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva on Nov. 12, winding down a nearly seven-week-long standoff that became a flashpoint for Democratic complaints and teeing up a politically sensitive vote on the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed Adelita Grijalva's swearing-in, with skeptics citing her upcoming key vote on the release of the Epstein files.

Arizona CD7 representation restored as Adelita Grijalva sworn in after 800k constituents spent eight months without voice.

Democrat Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn in after more than a month’s delay, and she spent her first Saturday as a congresswoman back in Arizona — along a rugged section of borderland within her district.
