For the second time in as many weeks God has answered his chosen child Mike Johnson’s prayers and taken another House Democrat as Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports, citing an announcement from Grijalva’s office that says the Dem died of cancer.
Grijalva is now the second House D to die in office in as many weeks, following the March 5th death of Texas Congressman Sylvester Turner. The difference this time is that Grijalva hadn’t been present for a vote in months as he suffered terribly at home and – given that Arizona’s governor is a fellow Dem and the district reliably blue – the seat will be filled sooner rather than later.
