Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) announced Tuesday that she would not be seeking reelection in 2024 because “Washington, D.C. is broken,” she said in a statement.

The Arizona congresswoman also said she wants to spend more time with family.

    She voted for ANYONE to be speaker rather than having no speaker at all. That is not the same as supporting someone. When given the choice, she actively wanted someone else and NOT Jordon (not that Scalise is a great choice either). Seeing how broken the House has become, she’s throwing up her hands and giving up – but I do expect she will vote for whomever her party votes on because she wants the government to function at least a little.

    If I missed some quote where she actually voiced support for Jordon more than saying that we need a Speaker, please enlighten me.

      If you’re looking for quotes, where’s the quote to prove that she voted for anyone?
