Welcoming the Honorable Adelita S. Grijalva to the House of Representatives

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today to congratulate our newest colleague and our fellow Arizonan on her swearing in as the Representative for Arizona's Seventh Congressional District, Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva.

Congresswoman Grijalva has concentrated her career on issues advocating for students and supporting families.

As she follows in her late father's footsteps--and, boy, those are some footsteps, especially with those bolo ties, wow--I have no doubt she will bring to the Halls of Congress the same energy that has defined her years of public service.

As dean of the Arizona congressional delegation, I wish to congratulate Congresswoman Grijalva and welcome her to the United States House of Representatives.

I now yield to the gentleman from Mr. Arizona (Mr. Stanton), my friend.
