While Arizona's 7th District representative sells himself as being supported by a "grassroots" organization, his real support comes from national Political Action Committees interested only in furthering their national agenda in Washington. According to OpenSecrets.org, in his last three campaigns, Raul Grijalva has taken an average of 52% of his funding from outside labor unions:
 | Business | $384,149 | (31%) |
 | Labor | $709,700 | (57%) |
 | Ideological/Single Issue | $143,010 | (12%) |
So much for
"a large diverse coalition to create the largest volunteer driven election effort in Arizona."
