Deja Foxx, a 25-year-old political influencer, has a real shot at winning tonight's Arizona primary to replace the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva. She's one of the first professional content creators to run for Congress — but she won’t be the last. Read more: ow.ly/Ek9850Wq2FP (📷 Arizona Daily Star)
I’m rooting for Adelita Grijalva, deceased U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva’s daughter.
Nepotism!
“Democrat Adelita Grijalva’s campaign and its backers celebrated winning the nomination for Arizona’s Congressional District 7.”
Hopefully, she doesn't turn out to be another #KyrstenSinema or a do-nothing Democrat. Since they are keeping the status quo hopefully it doesn't get Trump and the Republican party re-elected.
Gotcha. Unfortunately, I donated to Sinema when she initially ran for the U.S. Senate. That was a waste of good money. She was a DINO!
I have confidence that she’s a Progressive like her father was for 22 years in Congress.
“Adelita Grijalva entered the race as the front-runner and garnered the lion’s share of endorsements in the contest, including support from both of Arizona’s US senators, as well as Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She vowed to continue her father’s legacy.”
What has she influenced? (rolling eyes)

Calling Deja Foxx an "influencer" is an oversimplification. She's a Columbia graduate, a staffer for the Harris campaign, the national face of Planned Parenthood youth advocacy, and an organizer -- founder of GenZ Girl Gang
Thank you for those details, I was thinking exactly the same thing, where are her actual qualifications for the job.
A college degree, in PP ads, organizer ?, and she has influenced who with what? I don't see her resume as being qualified to be a Congressperson, yet. Can she whip votes, write legislation, does she know our laws, what's she done to stop facism or the traitor in the wh? Anything?
Have you seen the qualifications of some of the countries current congress members?
It's funny you asked that question because so far, she has fought fascist harder than most democrats currently in Congress. The democrats need fresh new members who are not controlled by AIPAC and can actually fight for workers' rights instead of corporate lobbyists or bend the knee to the right.
Shouldn’t we aim to get more serious people into Congress?
How is she not serious?
A real shot? Politico is not a serious source for political analysis. It’s been reduced to being a cheerleader for the Progressive Left. She had no chance. Grijalva had all of the Arizona establishment AND Bernie and AOC. Foxx had David Hogg…….
