As southern Arizona voters in the state’s 7th congressional district head to the polls Tuesday to fill a vacancy in the U.S. House, they are poised to revive a major headache for House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Trump administration.

Both the Democratic frontrunner, Adelita Grijalva, and her Republican challenger, Daniel Butierez, have publicly expressed their intent to provide the deciding signature on the discharge petition to circumvent Johnson and force a House vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    The question is will the GOP candidate Daniel actually vote for it? Or is he just saying that to get elected then just fall in line?

      He said he’d provide the “deciding vote”, which I read as “Whatever Trump wants.”

      I will eat my shoe if he votes to released it.
