Jonathan L. Jackson Democrat
“I am introducing Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. She is the first Latina to represent Arizona in Congress. She works for families and the environment.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank Congresswoman Stansbury for her remarks. It has been a true honor to serve with her and to continue to serve with her. Mr. Speaker, I now take the privilege to introduce the Honorable Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, the first Latino to represent her State in the United States Congress--carrying forward a legacy of her father, her family, as she molds and shapes her own. She came in here not as a freshman, but as a leader, carrying forward the fighting legacy, and I am honored that her father worked with my father. She has been working for families and environmental justice. I now yield to the gentlewoman from Arizona (Mrs. Grijalva).”
