亚利桑那州阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦宣誓就职延迟引发政治质疑
摘要
当选代表阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦的宣誓就职被推迟，引发争议，民主党人指责延迟背后存在政治动机。
当选代表阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦赢得了亚利桑那州第七国会选区的特别选举，但由于众议院休会，她尚未宣誓就职。众议院议长迈克·约翰逊表示，在众议院恢复工作后宣誓新成员是“标准做法”，预计将在下周进行。
然而，民主党人对这一延迟表示担忧，指出今年早些时候两位通过特别选举当选的共和党国会议员即使在众议院休会期间，也在赢得席位后的第二天宣誓就职。格里哈尔瓦表达了她的沮丧，称：“我不知道为什么对我的规则会不同。”
一些民主党人认为，这次推迟可能与迫使就杰弗里·爱泼斯坦调查相关的司法部文件公开投票的努力有关。格里哈尔瓦承诺支持这一倡议，她的加入将为将此事提交投票的请愿书提供必要的第218个签名。参议员鲁本·加列戈评论道：“共和党人阻止她就职，是因为他们想保护恋童癖者。这是耻辱。”
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯强调及时代表的重要性，表示：“没有理由进一步推迟当选代表宣誓成为正式成员……。”他预计宣誓仪式将在下周二举行。
格里哈尔瓦当选接替已故的父亲劳尔·格里哈尔瓦，预计将成为首位代表亚利桑那州的拉丁裔女性。她的选区涵盖亚利桑那州与墨西哥接壤的大部分地区，目前因空缺而缺乏选民服务。
