Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) who served on the House Natural Resources Committee has died at age 77 apparently from complications from lung Cancer treatments, media outlets reported recently.
“Representative Grijalva was like no other — an exceptional, unforgettable human being shaped by hardscrabble economic struggle long before he ever was elected to Congress,” Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) said in a March 13 statement.
Grijalva’s service was also praised by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), who served with Grijalva in Congress. The Arizona representative is the second Democratic member of the House to die in the past two weeks. A week earlier, Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-Texas), died at age 70.
