Representing Arizona’s third Congressional District, Raul Grijalva is a progressive in a state that is known for its conservative politics.

Having served in the US House of Representatives for more than a decade, he is a stalwart progressive, co-chairing the Congressional Progressive Caucus with Rep. Keith Ellison.

Grijalva has also co-authored a progressive federal budget plan called the Better Off Budget, and pushed for a single-payer healthcare plan.
