Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my friend and colleague from Arizona's Eighth District, Congresswoman Debbie Lesko. I have had the distinct pleasure of serving alongside her, as she just told you, on the Energy and Commerce Committee and, more specifically, on the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, which I chair. She served this Congress as the vice chair of that subcommittee. We explored and investigated many important issues, some of which included COVID-19 origins. She did some more work on that. There were investigations into drug shortages and the potential exploitation of unaccompanied minors crossing our southern border. Her work with me related to world anti-doping in sports was outstanding. It was really very much appreciated. Everyone here who has spoken already knows this. For those folks watching at home, this is one smart, tough lady. I have really, really enjoyed working with her on a number of issues over her terms here in Congress. Mr. Speaker, her hard work and her strong conservative record is obviously appreciated back home. As you have heard others say, she just recently won election to a seat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. I congratulate you, Debbie, on a fantastic career in the United States House, and I applaud your decision to continue public service a little bit closer to home as a member of the board of supervisors in Maricopa County. Your work will be missed, and it is appreciated.…”
