Democratic U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva is returning to Arizona as she accuses House Speaker Mike Johnson of delaying her oath of office.
Johnson doesn’t have to swear in Grijalva until after the state certifies the election.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday canvassed results from last week’s special election, where Adelita Grijalva won more than two-thirds of the vote to represent Arizona's 7th Congressional District.

Grijalva will be assuming the seat left vacant by her late father. She says it could take weeks before results from all six counties in the congressional district are certified.
“Official results won’t be available until after Oct. 14, when the six different counties have had the opportunity to vote and approve the canvas," Grijalva said.
Grijalva says she was invited to Washington by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and hoped to be sworn in.
She believes that didn’t happen over what would be her tie-breaking vote in the U.S. House to release the Epstein files.
