Previous congressional sessionsGrijalva voted against the economic package known as the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act offered after the U.S. economic crash in 2008, saying it created too little oversight of Wall Street and the banking industry.[148] Grijalva voted in favor of the Affordable Care Act -- usually called "health care reform" -- even though he prefers a single-payer health care system, because he viewed the law as a step in the right direction.[149] Grijalva voted in favor of government intervention to stop GM and Chrysler from going bankrupt.[150] Supporters argued the move helped the economy; as CNN Money noted on Feb. 16, "The hit to the economy would have been far worse than the $15 billion or so that the bailouts might end up costing taxpayers, considering the estimated 1.5 million additional job losses, the closure of GM, Chrysler and many of their suppliers and the shifting of much auto production overseas if the companies had failed."[151] Grijalva voted in favor of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.[152] Leading Republicans, such as Speaker of the House John Boehner, frequently argued the plan was a waste of money, and presidential candidate Mitt Romney said "the only thing [it] produced is a series of broken promises."[153] According to a February 2012 Congressional Budget Office report, as many as 2 million Americans owed their current employment to the Recovery Act in December 2011.[154] Grijalva voted for the Car Allowance Rebate System that allowed people to trade in older cars for newer, more fuel-efficient models.[155] A University of Delaware study estimated the program cost $1.4 billion, a sum highlighted by opponents of the program. Separately, the Department of Transportation found a 58 percent average fuel efficiency improvement for families that traded in old cars for new ones.[156] A University of Michigan study concluded that CARS improved the average fuel economy of all vehicles purchased by 0.6 mpg in July 2009 and by 0.7 mpg in August 2009.[157] Grijalva voted for the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which would have limited the overall national emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and set regular ongoing reduction goals.[158] The Senate did not take up the bill, and it has not subsequently been introduced. 112th CongressAmong Grijalva's notable votes and actions in the 112th Congress, he:
In addition to his votes in Congress, he vocally opposed Arizona's SB 1070 immigration crackdown law and led the filing of an amicus brief with the Supreme Court arguing that it should be overturned because it violated the supremacy clause of the Constitution.[167] He is a co-sponsor of the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting any discrimination on the basis of sex, a proposal formally titled House Joint Resolution 69 in the 112th Congress. The House Republican majority has not brought it up for a vote in the 112th Congress. Fiscal Cliff |

American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
On August 29, 2013, 53 House Democrats signed a letter written by California Rep. Barbara Lee that called for a congressional resolution on strikes and cautioned that the situation in Syria "should not draw us into an unwise war—especially without adhering to our constitutional requirements."[169][170] The letter also called on the Obama administration to work with the U.N. Security Council “to build international consensus” condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons. Grijalva was one of the 53 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[169][170]
Rank in the House
According to a special edition of National Journal, Grijalva -- who co-chaired the Congressional Progressive Caucus -- tied for most left-leaning member of the House in 2011 with other well-known liberal Democrats like Rep. Barbara Lee and fellow co-chair Rep. Keith Ellison.[171] Grijalva has often made a point of highlighting his values even in close campaigns, saying after being narrowly re-elected in 2010, "We're not going back with a renewed sense of caution, we're going back with a new sense of purpose."[172]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
Economy, education and immigration: Economy. The American economy has left working families behind and is one of the most important issues in this election. I Every day, I fight for policies and programs that will create good-paying jobs and economic opportunity for the people of Arizona's third congressional district.. Arizona's working families are tired of seeing their wages stagnate while watching the rich getting richer. .CEOs are taking home upwards of 300 times that of the typical worker, while working families live paycheck-to-paycheck, get by with less and less, and work longer hours. Just this past year, Republicans in Congress passed a tax plan that prioritized the interests of the wealthy and big corporations over working families, and now--they are looking to pay for them by cutting your Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. I will not let this happen. To strengthen our economy, it's time we invest in our communities and workers. e need to raise the minimum wage, provide paid sick and parental leave, ensure affordable child care, and offer debt-free college to allow families to save more of their money. We need to put Americans back to work with good-paying jobs that ensure stronger collective bargaining rights, end wage theft, and stop the abuse of unpaid overtime hours. We need to protect and expand Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid--not make debilitating cuts to them. We can fund these investments by ending the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and ensuring that they pay their fair share. Education All kids, regardless of their zip code, deserve access to quality schools, and public schools and teachers must be equipped with the resources they need to give our students an excellent education. As we've seen with teacher-led protests around the country--including in Arizona--teachers and educational professionals need support to ensure they can enable student success. Outdated textbooks, crumbling school buildings and stagnant salaries are the results of Republican policies at the state and national level that have gutted school funding and left our teachers to make miracles with few resources. I've consistently fought for more school funding, greater accountability, and better resources to ensure that our students get the best education possible from K-12 and beyond. WIth student debt spiraling out of control and higher education becoming less affordable, attending college is not longer a reality for individuals across the country. In Congress, I will continue to prioritize access to higher education opportunities and support proposals that tackle the student debt crisis, increase affordability, and prevent predatory for-profit institutions from preying on vulnerable students. It's time for Congress to start prioritizing education and invest in the future of our country. Immigration We are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants, and we need to reconcile those facts. Republicans continue to block comprehensive immigration reform and offer unrealistic threats in its place, including the horrific policy of separating children from their parents. Those of us who live and work on the border appreciate its uniqueness and know it remains a safe place. We should not vilify people who are seeking a better life but focus on human traffickers and drug smuggling cartels who actually pose a threat. Trump's border wall would waste billions in taxpayer money, cause irreparable environmental damage, and further divide families and sovereign tribal nations. It is absurd to think that we can simply deport every undocumented person. It would wreak havoc on our economy, in addition to the enormous human toll of asking 12 million people to abandon their livelihoods. Instead, a more practical solution is to allow them to apply for permanent residency with a pathway to citizenship, that includes paying a fee. A recent report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that comprehensive immigration reform would reduce the federal budget deficit by $197 billion over the next decade and $700 billion over the next 20 years. Comprehensive immigration reform will build a stronger society and economy. The time for reform is now.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Climate change is an existential crisis for our planet, not a question of personal opinion. The science is clear. Our climate is getting warmer in large part because carbon and methane emissions have changed the way our planet behaves. The oil and gas industry has spent decades and many millions of dollars trying to convince the American people not to take action. Unfortunately that dishonest campaign has succeeded in Congress and the Trump administration, even where it's failed with public opinion. We need to increase support for renewable energy -- particularly solar in hotspots like Arizona and the Southwest -- and put a tax on every ton of carbon emitted by industrial sources. The last thing we need is to keep waiting or pretending there's a scientific debate. The scientific debate ended a long time ago. The political debate has done nothing but paralyze our government, delay needed action, and put our communities at risk.
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
Robert F. Kennedy was, and continues to be, a source of inspiration to me and my career in public service. His untimely assassination changed our history, and we're left with unanswered questions and unrealized aspirations about what could have been. One's politics are never static. They change with us as we go through new experiences, meet new people, and experience periods of personal growth. When Kennedy changed as a person, his politics reflected this. He was both inspirational and aspirational. He worked for the poor, pushed for a more equitable society, and sought tolerance and racial reconciliation. Unfortunately, our current political reality is quite the opposite. The ideals that Kennedy worked hard to embody are viewed as signs of weakness by the current administration. Values like tolerance, dignity, and a general desire to do what's best for the American people are in short supply in the current White House. Kennedy represents the true strength of political leadership and the enduring need to do what's right, not what's politically expedient. As Kennedy once said, "The future is not completely beyond our control. It is the work of our own hands." Each day that I'm in Congress, I recognize this responsibility and do everything in my power to create a better future for America's children and grandchildren.
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Bravery and sincerity are more important in politics than many people realize. You can make more of a difference by speaking the truth you believe in -- despite powerful establishment opposition -- than by saying what you think everyone wants to hear. I stand by my principles and take a clear stance on issues impacting Arizonans.Serving the voters means taking real positions on real pieces of legislation, not hiding behind generalities.
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
The ability to compromise and the ability to organize without losing out on your priorities is an important quality. When I joined Congress in early 2003, former Speaker of the House John Boehner was chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. I worked with him to expand Head Start for Native American communities and to increase resources for the Migrant Head Start program. That process taught me, early in my congressional career, that real compromise means give and take on both sides, no matter who's in the majority or minority on a given day. Expecting the minority to give everything and get nothing in return is not a compromise, and it doesn't build trust for the next negotiation. Getting things done in Congress is impossible when force and a bare majority are the only things that matter. That's the system we have today. The American people would think a lot more of Congress if we started treating compromise as a serious option rather than as a surrender. It's also important to make politics local, by making sure people at the community level fully understand the repercussions of the policies in Washington, including who is standing on which side of a debate. I'm willing to take a stand on difficult issues and to help people engage around the issues, so that they speak together as a powerful voice to make sure their best interests are being represented.
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
The core responsibility of someone elected to this office is to serve the people and legislate according to their best interests. I have a proven record of helping Arizona's economy, protecting Arizona's environment, and standing up for Arizona's working families. I have fought, and continue to fight, for comprehensive immigration reform and an end to the militarization of our borders. I was shaped by and continue to uphold the best values of our community: environmental and historical conservation, cultural diversity, fair treatment for everyone, and respect for our history. Those values have compelled me to support stronger environmental standards, a higher minimum wage, comprehensive immigration reform, an end to the militarization of our borders, and an expansion of the social safety net that supports people in need. Arizona sets a high standard for treating other people well and supporting the community. I'm honored to meet that standard as a public servant.
What is your favorite book? Why?
My current favorite book is "Robert F. Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon" by Larry Tye. I remain impressed, even decades later, by the way Robert Kennedy energized people from all walks of life to believe in a real, positive, achievable vision of a better future. Many leaders have a single skill that helps them get things done: they know how to connect with people, or they have great organizational skills, or they have a compelling set of values that mean a great deal to the people they encounter. Robert Kennedy had each of those qualities and many more, and the story of his life remains compelling to me and to everyone who believes in public service. This biography tells that story in a rare way that shows his qualities in human terms, not just in political terms. I hope more people read it. It's a true inspiration.
If you are a current representative, why did you join your current committees?
As Ranking Member of the Natural Resources Committee, I lead the fight to address climate change, hold polluters accountable and preserve our public lands. As a member of the Committee on Education and The Workforce, I fight to provide needed resources and equity to our faltering education system and make access to debt-free higher education a reality for all.
Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?
I have always greatly admired Mo Udall. His advocacy for the environment, especially here in Arizona, had a formative effect on my own political views, and I consider it a great responsibility to live up to his conservation legacy. His support for social justice and his willingness to speak his mind, even when he was in the political minority, were important touchstones for Arizonans of all political persuasions during his career and remain important today. His wit, friendliness and humanity -- even in the midst of vital political battles -- have always been a reminder that public servants can't succeed without maintaining relationships and keeping perspective. His achievements have helped guide my own efforts to conserve Arizona's natural places and to uplift the Southern Arizona community.

Personal Gain Index

- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Grijalva's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $74,012 and $325,000. That averages to $199,506, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Grijalva ranked as the 347th most wealthy representative in 2012.[188] Between 2004 and 2012, Grijalva's calculated net worth[189] decreased by an average of 1 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[190]
Raul Grijalva Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $216,348 |
2012 | $199,506 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | −8% |
Average annual growth: | −1%[191] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[192] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Grijalva received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Public Sector Unions industry.
From 2001-2014, 24.69 percent of Grijalva's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[193]

Noteworthy events
Said President Joe Biden (D) should withdraw as 2024 Democratic presidential nominee
On July 3, 2024, U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) said President Joe Biden (D) should withdraw from the 2024 Democratic presidential race ahead of the Democratic National Convention on August 19-22, 2024.
Grijalva said, "If he’s the candidate, I’m going to support him, but I think that this is an opportunity to look elsewhere. What he needs to do is shoulder the responsibility for keeping that seat — and part of that responsibility is to get out of this race."[203]
Following the first 2024 presidential debate, Democratic elected officials commented publicly on President Joe Biden's (D) debate performance and his presidential candidacy. On July 2, 2024, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) became the first Democratic federal elected official to call on Biden to withdraw from the race in the wake of the debate.

Almost 200 people were arrested by police during the protest.[205]
