Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko announced Tuesday she won’t run for reelection next year, citing the gridlock in Congress and a desire to spend more time with her family.
“Spending, on average, three weeks out of every month away from my family, and traveling back and forth to Washington, D.C. almost every weekend is difficult,” she posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Right now, Washington, D.C. is broken; it is hard to get anything done.”
“Please know that I will continue my work to improve Congress and to help my constituents and the American people. We must all work toward that end,” the Arizona Republican added.
