Representative Raul Grijalva's district includes southern Yuma County. The Democratic Congressman has long supported impeachment. Grijalva says he considers Wednesday's vote a grave responsibility.
It is a somber day to impeach a President, but his reckless actions and brazen corruption left us with no other choice.

I based my decision on the facts and voted to protect our democracy for future generations.
I hope my colleagues in the Senate will do the same. https://t.co/Vdwkq2Wz01
Arizona Senator Martha McSally, a Republican, says she hasn't seen any evidence that leads her to believe Trump should be removed from office. Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema tells us she's reserving judgment until she's seem the evidence presented during the Senate trial.
