Calls for generational change and dissatisfaction with the status quo have been at the center of campaigns by younger candidates. While that has lifted some to victory, others have fallen short.

Adelita Grijalva, daughter of the late Congressman Raúl Grijalva, won Tuesday's Democratic primary in the special election to replace her father, and will advance to this fall’s general election.

Deja Foxx had a small watch party at Zerai’s International Bar. She presumably lost by a wide margin to Adelita Grijalva in the primary.

Adelita Grijalva, a former local elected official, will follow in her father’s footsteps, representing a congressional district in southern Arizona after fending off a challenge built around generational change and winning the Democratic primary in a special election on Tuesday night.

The next test of who Democratic voters want to see leading the party will take place Tuesday in southwest Arizona, where three leading candidates are offering competing visions in the primary to fill the late Rep.

Adelita Grijalva’s landslide win over Deja Foxx shows that real-world connections still matter more than social media influence in politics.
