PHOENIX (AP) — U.S. Rep. Debbie Lesko announced Tuesday that she will not run for office next year.

In a statement, Lesko, 64, said traveling every month to Washington, D.C. has been difficult and that “D.C. is broken.”

She said her office will continue to serve her constituents until her term officially ends in January 2025.

Lesko represents Arizona’s 8th Congressional District. An ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, Lesko received an endorsement from him during her last election. However, she had no serious challengers in the GOP primary.
