By james art U.S. Rep. Debbie Lesko, a Republican, is adding her voice to the chorus of prominent Glendale and West Valley leaders opposing Proposition 499, the measure backed by an out-of-state labor union that is poised to damage the Glendale economy if it passes. .
“I urge everyone in Glendale to vote against Proposition 499. If it passes, the entire economy of Glendale – not just the tourism sector – suffers. Worse, it makes government bigger, calling for a new city department that will force city leaders to choose between cuts to essential services or higher taxes,” Lesko said in a release. “We don’t need a California union telling us what’s best for our community. Save jobs in Glendale. Vote no on 499.”
Representative Lesko served in the state legislature for nine years before being elected to three full terms in the US House of Representatives. She is the 2024 Republican candidate for Maricopa County Supervisor in District 4.
