Grijalva's enduring influence in Tucson politics rises
Raul Grijalva, 28, has been a persistent figure in Tucson politics for nearly a decade. The Mexican American activist served on the District 1 school board, pushing desegregation and minority rights while facing opposition, threats, and media scrutiny. He favors bargaining for out of court settlements yet remains a vocal dissenter and outsider.
