"If I have to, I'll take him to court,"
"On behalf of the State of Arizona, I demand that the Honorable Adelita Grijalva be sworn into office as the representative for Arizona's Seventh Congressional District and be allowed to assume her seat without further delay,"
"Failing to seat Ms. Grijalva immediately or to otherwise provide a reasonable explanation as to when she will be seated will prompt legal action."
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes demanded that U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson immediately seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva or face legal action. Grijalva won a special election more than three weeks earlier but has not been sworn in. The delay has left Arizona's Seventh Congressional District without a representative and without access to constituent services. Mayes sent a formal letter demanding immediate swearing-in and warning that failure to follow usual practice or to provide a reasonable explanation will prompt legal action. More than 813,000 district residents are affected, and Mayes expressed readiness to pursue court action if necessary.
