WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) offered the following statement after voting against Pelosi’s Partisan Payoff:

“The bill voted on today in the U.S. House of Representatives was not relief, it was a partisan payoff for Nancy Pelosi and her cronies. At a time when American families are struggling, Arizona seniors are waiting for vaccines, and small businesses are shuttering, less than 9 percent of this $2 trillion package goes to combating COVID-19 through public health spending. This bill was simply wasteful spending to check items off a partisan wish list. The people of Arizona and America deserve better.”
