I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's decision to keep the U.S. House of Representatives in recess amid national crises has led to severe consequences, including delayed benefits for millions of Americans and the refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected representative from Arizona's 7th Congressional District. Grijalva, who was elected six weeks ago, has yet to be sworn in, a move that sets a dangerous precedent and deprives her constituents of representation. Johnson's actions, including canceling votes and providing inconsistent excuses, have raised questions about the speaker's authority to delay swearing in elected members for political reasons, prompting a lawsuit by Grijalva and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes.
