Lesko Legislation

January 21-27 is now School Choice Week! 

I'm happy to have joined Rep. John Moolenaar (MI-02) in cosponsoring House Resolution 974 declaring January 21-27 as National School Choice Week. Families across the country should feel empowered to choose the education best for their children and family, regardless of their zip code. Read more here

GET THE FACTS: Biden and the Border

President Biden has actively made America less safe and less secure since his first day in office. We’ve seen caravans of migrants coming from all over the world crossing our border and cities across the country have been overwhelmed. Even mayors in Democrat-run cities like New York and Chicago have expressed concerns with how to handle the crisis. Meanwhile, the White House continues to do nothing. When Governor Greg Abbott of Texas finally decided to do something about it to keep his people safe, the Biden Administration went into attack mode. This week, the Supreme Court sided against Texas allowing the Biden Administration to order Customs and Border Protection to cut the razor wire Texas used to secure their section of the border. Still, House Republicans are not giving up and have introduced legislation to allow state-constructed borders to remain in place in times of crisis. President Biden may not be taking this crisis seriously, but we are.

Around the District

Team Lesko attended the promotion ceremony for MSG Luis Lopez. At the ceremony, MSG Lopez was also recognized with the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal for his exceptional service in the veteran community. Our office also presented him with a Congressional Recognition as a testament to his hard work and dedication. Congratulations MSG Lopez, thank you for your service to our country and community.

Casework Highlight

A constituent contacted our office while trying to settle the estate for his sibling who passed away. The final action needed was for the IRS to finish processing the siblings tax refund. After a year of trying to explain the situation to the IRS, he contacted our office for assistance. We contacted the IRS to resolve the issue which resulted in the constituent receiving their payment in full.
