Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on political campaigns and the 2020 elections will be no different.

Lesko misleads voters on Democrat’s priorities, her record

Three things are clear after reading U.S. Rep. Debbie Lesko’s June 27 opinion piece accusing Democrats of not wanting to address the crisis at the border: her willingness to mislead voters on the facts, her willingness to blame others for Congress’ inability to address the problem, and proving she has no solution herself.
