House Speaker says Grijalva fine without oath, but she's hamstrung

A month after her special election, Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Tucson, was still waiting to be sworn in as of Oct. 22, 2025, when this photo was taken. But a plaque with her name had already been installed outside her office, the one used by her late father, Raúl Grijalva, who died in March in his 12th term. The sign reads "Every American deserves representation. Swear in Adelita Grijalva now." (Photo by Nick Karmia/Cronkite News)
