Congresswoman Lesko Weekly Update |
|
Good Afternoon,
I hope everyone had a wonderful week in our great state of Arizona!

In the News
I want to make sure that 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.
The Conservative Circus with James T. Harris
I joined The Conservative Circus with James T. Harris to discuss Democrats' radial Inflation Expansion Act and the dangerous weaponization of the FBI against President Trump and Democrats' political opponents. Democrats have created a banana republic! Listen below:

GET THE FACTS: Democrats' Inflation Expansion Act
This week, I voted against Congressional Democrats' Inflation Expansion Act that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, raises taxes on the American people, and does not fix our nation's inflation crisis. Learn more about this dangerous bill below!

Lesko Stands Up For Middle-Class Americans
I joined Rep. Michael Cloud's (R-TX-27) letter to IRS Commissioner Christopher Rettig demanding answers on how it will spend the billions of dollars it will receive from Congressional Democrats' Inflation Expansion Act. It is ridiculous that Democrats are wasting taxpayer dollars to double the size of the IRS to harass and audit hardworking middle-class Americans.

Lesko Protects Children from Dangerous Puberty Blockers
The FDA recently outlined the dangerous side effects of puberty blockers on children, including brain swelling and vision loss. I joined Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL-15) in a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra urging the HHS to rescind its current guidance that promotes the use of puberty blockers in children. We must protect kids from being medically harmed by the Far-Left's radical gender ideology.

Around the District
Monica from our office attended the 17th anniversary celebration of Credit Union West's Cactus Branch located in Peoria, AZ! Congratulations on 17 years serving our Arizona communities!
Monica from our office presented a Congressional Recognition to Dementia Friendly Glendale, which provides resources for caregivers and families of people with dementia. Thank you for supporting people with dementia in Glendale, AZ!
Austin from our office met with Allison Bones from T.E.A.M. 4 Travis to discuss ways to support Arizona’s rare disease patients and their families.

Casework Highlight
A constituent contacted our office after unsuccessfully attempting to obtain her Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits for over two years. We contacted the SSA and identified the payment processing error. The constituent has started receiving the SSA benefits she earned.

Encouraging Story
I want to share this story about Maricopa County Sheriff's Deputy Zac Rand who hosts "Kick Flips and Donuts" at skate parks to build bridges between the community and law enforcement officers. He also raises money to provide skateboards and skate shoes for kids who don't have them. Thank you for all you do to help children in our communities, and thank you for your service as a law enforcement officer!

Our office is hosting Mobile Office Hours on August 30, 2022, at the Sun City Branch Library in Sun City, AZ from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM AZ Time. Our casework team is ready to answer your questions and assist you with federal agencies.
