It was another busy week in Arizona. I hope everyone is doing well! If you would like to share this newsletter with others, please direct them to this link and encourage them to subscribe.

Lesko in the News

Our country cannot handle FOUR MORE years of Joe Biden's policies. Listen to my thoughts on President Trump’s latest indictment and the CRISIS occurring at our southern border with Stacy On The Right: 

President Biden’s radical border policies are a safety risk for ALL Americans as well as the migrants themselves trying to make their way into our country. Countless children are being placed in harm’s way by this administration’s failure to care for them, while other dangerous people are invading our country. Listen to my thoughts on this and MORE with Seth Leibsohn:

Lesko Meetings

I had the opportunity to update constituents on how House Republicans are fighting for Arizona, including investigations with the Select Subcommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic and efforts to stop the Biden Administration’s disastrous border policies.

This week, I toured Potter’s House Apothecary in Peoria. We discussed the products and services they provide the community as well as ways Congress can continue to support positive health outcomes for ALL Americans.

Lesko Letters

“When government clears bureaucratic hurdles in the health care industry, people, and animals, win”

I wrote to the FDA to urge them to update Congress on their progress toward an approval of the Canine Valley Fever Vaccine. Approval of this vaccine would present a significant milestone in pursuing a desperately needed human vaccine.

Read the full letter here and press release here.

Around the District

Team Lesko attended the ribbon cutting for D’Lux Décor and Creations. They provide balloon decorations, floral arrangements, chocolate treats, along with custom gifts, t-shirts, and more. We're so happy to welcome them to the district!

Team Lesko attended the ribbon cutting for The Hub in Peoria. The Hub provides tools and resources for those in the process of obtaining their high school diplomas and GED’s.

Team Lesko attended the Veterans Roundtable hosted by Surprise Mayor Skip Hall. This event is an opportunity for West Valley military and veterans organizations to come together and discuss programs, services, and resources available to assist our American heroes. 

Michael from our office presented Surprise Mayor Skip Hall with a Congressional Recognition for his leadership and dedication in assisting the veterans community across the West Valley.

Michael from our office presented Allison Wisniewski with a Congressional Recognition for her incredible work for West Valley veterans. Allison supports veterans on many issues and coordinates with various organizations to ensure that these American heroes receive the assistance they deserve. 

GET THE FACTS: Bidenomics

It’s no secret the price of gas and groceries is hitting harder this year than last. Our cost-of-living crisis has gotten out of control, and Bidenomics is to blame. Compared to last year, the food prices this summer were more than 5% higher than last year, Arizona’s average gas price is over $4/gal, and many Americans are struggling. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Bidenomics is really just Bidenflation

Casework Highlight

A constituent called our office, requesting assistance with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to recover a portion of their federal pension. The constituent was attempting to recoup the full amount of their pension after a beneficiary passed away. Our office contacted OPM, and we were able to resolve the situation with constituent being able to receive their full pension.
