In the News
I want to make sure you don't miss a minute of what I’m doing to fight for Arizonans each and every day. Check out my latest interview below.
Lesko Joins Fox Business
I joined Mornings with Maria on Fox Business to discuss how Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky listened to teachers' union president Randi Weingarten instead of the science. We also talked about the Department of Energy's efforts to ban gas stoves! My Save Our Gas Stoves Act would block this war on consumer choice! Watch my full interview below:
Lesko’s Save Our Gas Stoves Act Passes the U.S. House of Representatives
My Save Our Gas Stoves Act to block the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) from implementing its proposed efficiency standard for gas cooking products passed out of the U.S. House of Representatives with bipartisan support. According to the Department of Energy’s own technical report, 96 percent of the market share of gas stoves will not meet the DOE’s new proposed rule. That is a 96 percent ban. I am grateful for my colleagues’ support on this critical legislation. The U.S. Senate should expeditiously take up and pass this bill to stop this blatant attack on consumer choice. Watch my remarks on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives below:
Lesko Defends Save Our Gas Stoves Act from Democrat Amendment
I defended my Save Our Gas Stoves Act from an amendment that would delay this legislation’s implementation and would facilitate the Department of Energy’s war on natural gas. My bill upholds affordable and reliable natural gas as Americans’ preferred energy source. Watch below:
Lesko Defends Save Our Gas Stoves Act from Another Democrat Amendment
I opposed a Democrat amendment to my Save Our Gas Stoves Act that would have allowed the Department of Energy to reissue another rule banning gas stoves even if my bill was signed into law. Watch:
Lesko Questions CDC Director Walensky
In the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, my colleagues and I questioned CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on the CDC’s authoritarian policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Watch my line of questioning below:
Lesko Supports Grid Reliability
In the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security, I asked what new authority, if any, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requires to protect our grid reliability and if FERC would exercise authority over the Western Area Power Administration if it joins a regional transmission organization. Watch my remarks below:
Lesko Questions Nuclear Regulatory Commissioners
Nuclear energy is critical to grid reliability. In the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security, I asked if it would be better to use on-site inspectors and virtual technology at nuclear plants to increase efficiency and avoid duplicative work. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission should ensure safety regulations are efficient and promote our nuclear development! Watch:
Lesko Fights for Grid Security
I attended a field hearing in Moore County, NC with the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security to discuss the attack on two of their electric substations that shut off electric power to thousands of people for five days. The substations were strategically attacked by a shooter to cause maximum damage. Watch my questions here:
Receives the Guardian of Seniors’ Rights Award
Thank you to the 60 Plus Association for presenting me with the Guardian of Seniors’ Rights Award! I will never stop fighting for the seniors of Arizona.

I met with Signature Healthcare Services to discuss mental health and ways to ensure that those in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District have access to the services they need.
Lesko Meets with Auto Care Association
It was a pleasure to meet with the Auto Care Association and FleetPride to address issues facing after-market distributors and technicians.
