The family of the late U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva has announced plans to hold memorial services in Tucson next week. One of Arizona's longest-serving congressmen, Grijalva, D-Ariz., was a fixture of Tucson politics and eventually became known in Washington as a standard-bearer of the left wing of the Democratic Party.

Memorial services for the late Congressman Raúl Grijalva will be held in Tucson next week. According to details shared by Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva, Rep. Grijalva’s daughter, a rosary service will be held at St. John Catholic Church at 4 p.m. March 25.

The election in the solidly Democratic 7th Congressional District is drawing interest from several Arizona political heavyweights.
