Raul Grijalva. The former state lawmaker reported raising nearly more than $981,000 and had about $37,000 on hand as of June 25, according to an FEC report filed on July 3. Adelita Grijalva, Raul Grijalva's daughter and a former member of the Pima County Board of Supervisors, had raised about $835,000 and still had $128,000 for the final stretch of the race, according to her report.
