Lesko Meetings
This week was Police Week! I had a wonderful meeting with the Peoria Police Department to learn how we can better support our men and women in blue here in Congress.
I also attended a vigil with the families of officers who lost their lives in the line of duty to honor fallen law enforcement officers.
American infrastructure is in dire need of repair. I met with the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association to discuss the state of our railroads and how we can improve them moving forward.
I met with AMAC to discuss ways we can better serve senior citizens in Arizona and the challenges elder populations face nationwide.
I had a great meeting with the Navajo Nation where we discussed issues the tribe is facing with radiation exposure and how Congress can help.
It’s always inspiring having the chance to meet with other women involved in public service. I met with the Dodie Londen group to discuss the challenges conservative women face in politics today.
I met with the Arizona Petroleum Marketers Association to talk about how the Biden Administration's regulations are affecting small business owner gas stations, how ethanol causes wear and tear on their equipment, and how credit card fees are affecting their bottom line.
I stand with America's law enforcement and pledge to oppose any legislation, resolutions, or movements that would defund the police or harm their ability to do their jobs. I met with the Police Officers’ Defense Coalition and signed their pledge to stand against the Defund the Police movement and stand in defense of law enforcement.

Just last year, 865 lives were saved in Arizona from organ donation. It was wonderful meeting with the Organ Procurement Organizations and the Donor Network of Arizona to discuss ways Congress can promote this important lifesaving work.

I met with the Arizona Industries for the Blind to talk about the opportunities they provide for the blind community in Arizona and how Congress can help people with disabilities gain employment and become more connected to their local community.
