Adelita Grijalva, the daughter of the late U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, is one step closer to filling the seat he left in Congress.

Amid a week-long government shutdown, representative-elect Adelita Grijalva has yet to be sworn in. Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego called on Speaker Mike Johnson to get back to work.
