Grijalva drops out of race for top Democratic spot on Natural Resources panel
Rep. Raul Grijalva has dropped out of the race for the top Democratic spot on the Natural Resources Committee, according to two people familiar with the matter, potentially averting a generational clash over the leadership position. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who’d been absent from Congress while going through treatment for cancer, had faced a challenge from Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), as House Democrats weigh whether to cast aside some of their most senior committee leaders.
