WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) released the following statement in response to President Joseph R. Biden’s State of the Union Address:

“The State of the Union is still in crisis. Arizonans are facing a cost of living crisis, a record-breaking border crisis, and sky-high gas prices. Deadly drugs, including fentanyl, are being trafficked across our southern border and taking the lives of people in our communities. Our nation is facing a growing number of national security threats around the globe. Many of these crises have only gotten worse under the Biden Administration’s failed tenure. In his last State of the Union, President Biden promised to secure the border, yet the border is wide open with historic numbers of illegal migrant crossings. It is time for President Biden to put aside partisanship and work with House Republicans to restore safety, freedom, and prosperity to Arizonans and Americans across our nation.”
