Three weeks ago, Rep. Raúl Grijalva wrote a letter to Democrats on the Natural Resources Committee saying he fully intends on leading the panel again next Congress. The problem is, Democrats on the committee aren’t so sure he should.
Grijalva was diagnosed with lung cancer in February, and some Democrats on the Natural Resources Committee told NOTUS they’ve barely seen the top Democrat on the panel this year.
“Ever since he got sick, I have not really had much interaction at all,” one Democrat on the committee said. “I hope that he’s speaking with the staff.”
