Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) will not seek reelection next year after serving three terms in the House, citing a desire to spend more time with her family and Congress's inability to get things passed.

Lesko's office announced her exit from politics on Tuesday, the same day House Republicans failed to elect Republican speaker nominee Jim Jordan (R-OH), which has further delayed any work in the lower chamber.

"Spending, on average, three weeks out of every month away from my family, and traveling back and forth to Washington, D.C., almost every weekend is difficult," Lesko said in a statement. "Right now, Washington, D.C., is broken; it is hard to get anything done."

The House is expected to reconvene on Wednesday for the next round of votes for speaker of the House. Jordan failed to reach the 217 votes necessary for the position on Tuesday by securing just 200 votes in the first vote.

Lesko was first elected to the House in 2018 in a special election following the resignation of former Republican Rep. Trent Franks. Franks resigned over claims he had made two female staffers uncomfortable by asking them about surrogacy, as well as due to health problems with his wife.

The congresswoman, who was reelected in November with 96.5% of the vote and did not have a Democratic challenger, represents the state's 8th District, which includes a part of Maricopa County. The district covers several suburban neighborhoods north of Phoenix.

Before entering national politics, Lesko served in both chambers of the Arizona state legislature. She has not announced any plans following her retirement from the House.
