Hi, John, it's Adelita Grijalva and I want to thank EMILYs List for allowing me to share this big news:
After 50 days, the longest swearing-in delay in history is over. I've finally been sworn in — and the people of my district once again have a voice in Congress.
The delay in swearing me in was a politically motivated move by Speaker Mike Johnson to protect his razor-thin majority.
It was an abuse of power that must be addressed to ensure this never happens again — because our democracy only works when everyone has a voice.
That includes the millions of people across this country who are survivors of violence and exploitation — including the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
That's why, immediately after being sworn in, my first act was to sign the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files so we can finally deliver the transparency and justice survivors deserve.
Now it's time to deliver justice in Congress to those who've abused their power, by holding Republicans accountable and kicking them out of office.
It's going to take all of us to get the job done.
Please, split a contribution today between my campaign and EMILYs List to help us win back Democratic majorities in the House and Senate — so we have the power to stop MAGA in its tracks.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva
