In Congress, I’ll fight to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, not just as policies, but as promises we make to each other.

Grijalva commits to defending Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid if elected to Congress.

Evidence

The campaign’s first ad said it introduced Adelita Grijalva’s commitment to protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and quoted her saying: “In Congress, I’ll fight to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.”

Official campaign material shows she explicitly made the promised protection of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid part of her special-election message.

The same campaign post says the ad was built around Grijalva’s “unwavering commitment to protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.”

This reinforces that the promise was a core campaign commitment, not a stray remark.

Grijalva led introduction of the SSI Restoration Act, saying the bill would modernize SSI by increasing benefit levels, updating outdated asset limits, and eliminating punitive rules that trap people in poverty.

This is concrete congressional action to strengthen a core Social Security-related safety-net program.

Congressional Record Index entries show she cosponsored multiple health-program bills, including Medicaid: repeal prohibition on making payments to certain health care entities, Medicare: establish improved Medicare for All national health insurance program, and other Medicare/Medicaid-related measures.

The official congressional record documents ongoing legislative activity tied to Medicare and Medicaid protection and expansion.

Grijalva said Republicans’ spending bill was paid for “on the backs of working families and children who are losing access to SNAP and Medicaid” and argued Congress should rescind the DHS funding slush fund and focus on constituents’ needs.

She publicly opposed a federal funding package she said would worsen Medicaid harm, showing continued advocacy against cuts to the safety net.

Assessments

delivered later_term

The promise was phrased as an effort commitment to fight in Congress to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, not as a pledge to enact a specific bill or prevent every cut. After entering federal office, Grijalva took concrete congressional actions aligned with the promise: leading introduction of SSI Restoration Act legislation tied to Social Security benefits, cosponsoring Medicare and Medicaid-related bills, and publicly opposing funding measures she said would harm Medicaid. Because the meaningful evidence of action occurred after the 2025 special-election campaign once she was serving in Congress, timing is later_term. These actions are sufficient to count the fight-oriented promise as delivered, even without final enactment of the underlying policy changes.
