Arizona’s elected leaders are honoring the life of the late U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva. The 77-year-old Arizona Democrat died this month after a battle with cancer. Gov. Katie Hobbs has set July 15 and Sept.

It was a celebration characteristic of Grijalva, a man near-peerless among Arizona political figures for the old-school, grassroots web of devotees that he built, and which, those devotees say, will live and breathe long after his death.
