Democratic Rep. Ral M. Grijalva Of Arizona Dies From Complications From Cancer Treatment

Source: Huff Post

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic U.S. Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva of Arizona, who championed environmental protection during his 12 terms in Congress, died Thursday from complications from cancer treatments, his office said.

Grijalva, who was 77, had risen to chair the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee and was the top Democrat on the committee until earlier this year. He had been absent from Congress as he underwent cancer treatment in recent months.

Early 1980's. Grijalva has always been a great guy. A courageous politician. What a loss.
