Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah) has come out in support of swearing in Representative-elect Adelita S. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) after weeks of being denied her role.
Curtis told C-SPAN it’s time for Johnson to swear her in.
“I want to be careful, I’ve expressed how much I respect Speaker Johnson,” Curtis said. “But the will of the people of Arizona have spoken, right? I think she needs to serve.”
“In my opinion, the will of the people have spoken,” Curtis added. “Let’s get her to work.”
“The delay in swearing me in is robbing the people of Southern Arizona of essential constituent services,” Grijalva said in the letter. “I am unable to hire staff, open district offices, or respond to constituent concerns.”
