Debbie Lesko Biography

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the people of Congressional District 8 in the U.S. Congress. Since first being elected, my staff and I have dedicated ourselves to helping constituents and addressing issues that affect our district, our state and our nation. From tax relief for working families to removing burdensome regulations on businesses to strengthening our national defense, I’m proud of the work we have done. But there is so much more to do especially in the area of improving healthcare, border security and fighting the coronavirus pandemic. I hope you will join me in bringing commonsense conservative solutions to the issues our country faces today. You can count on me to fight for all residents of District 8. I would be honored to have your support for another term in the U.S. Congress.

Issues

ObamaCare has been a disaster for the American people. Premiums have continued to rise and access to care has diminished. Now, Democrats in Congress are pushing for a complete government takeover of our entire health care system. In Congress, I will continue to fight for a health care system that emphasizes the doctor-patient relationship, increases competition and quality, and lowers costs. The Democrats’ push for a complete government takeover of health care will leave the American people with fewer options, lower quality of care, increased taxes and saddle our country with trillions more in debt.

I am committed to making sure our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines have the best equipment in the world. This means we must continue to protect the F-35 and Luke Air Force Base. We also need to continue investing in missile defense so that insane madmen like Kim Jung Un cannot threaten our country with nuclear attack. We must also expand Cyber Command to protect our infrastructure and we must ensure our intelligence assets have the tools they need to continue to defeat terrorists.

We must secure our border, period. Some sections need a physical barrier like the wall, and other parts require technology and more manpower. I am committed to working with President Trump to make this a reality.

I believe education is about empowering parents to make the right choices for their children and their families. That’s why I believe the federal government needs to get out of the way of decisions made at the local level. I will support federal block grants back to states so that we in Arizona can continue to decide how best to spend our money – not bureaucrats in Washington.

I have never seen a tax I didn’t want to cut, and I have a proud record of voting for common-sense tax reforms. The newly passed tax reform package from Congress doesn’t go far enough. We need a reformed tax code that allows citizens to fill out their tax returns on a postcard. I will push for this tax simplification. We also have too many regulations that put the needs of special interests over commonsense, and I will work with President Trump to protect jobs and end the reign of bureaucratic controls through regulations.

President Obama was a tax-and-spend liberal, and in his short reign, he accumulated more debt than all previous Presidents combined. This is outrageous. In Congress, I will fight for a balanced budget, to end budget gimmicks, and to rein in spending that both parties have let get out of control. No more burdening the generations that come after us with massive debts. The time to tackle this is now.

I am so proud of my record to uphold the sanctity of life and protect the unborn. I am a strong believer that life begins at conception and we must protect the most vulnerable among us. Because of my strong pro-life record, I have received the support and endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony List, an important national pro-life organization, and I have consistently been endorsed by Arizona Right to Life, have a 100% rating with the Center for Arizona Policy and been named “Friend of the Family” by the Arizona Family Project. I will vigorously support the principles of life and vote to prohibit any federal funding for abortion or infanticide.

There is a reason why our Founding Fathers found it necessary to make the Second Amendment to our Constitution the right to keep and bear arms. This is a principle rooted in our Republic whereby we are a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But the right to own firearms is more than just a check on tyranny; it is a fundamental right that free citizens be allowed to protect and defend themselves. I have a strong track record of defending the Second Amendment and protecting gun rights. I have consistently been endorsed by the NRA and I am a member of both the NRA and Arizona Citizens Defense League. In Congress, I will continue to strongly support legislation that protects our Second Amendment and protects our citizens from reckless and irresponsible legislation that attempts to undermine this precious civil right.

Protecting Social Security and Medicare for our seniors is one of my top priorities. I believe we must preserve these programs for current beneficiaries who have worked hard and earned these benefits. I also want to lower the cost of prescription drugs for our senior citizens and ensure they have affordable health care coverage. Congress must keep its promise to America’s seniors.
