PHOENIX — The candidates running to represent Arizona's 7th Congressional District participated in a debate Tuesday night ahead of the special election.

Watch the debate in the video player below.

The seat was opened following Raúl Grijalva's death, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Arizona's third and seventh districts, for 22 years, and had announced in October that he would not be running for another term.

Following the July primary, Democrat Adelita Grijalva, Raúl's daughter, will face off against Republican Daniel Butierez in the special general election on September 23. See previous ABC15 coverage from the primary in the player above.

Watch the debate live tonight at 6 p.m. on the ABC15 Streaming App, YouTube or check back to this article for a live feed.
