                       Monday, September 23, 2024

  Mrs. LESKO. Mr. Speaker, as my time in the U.S. House of 
Representatives is coming to an end, I want to recognize my 
grandchildren. After six years in Congress, I have decided to return 
home to Arizona to spend more time with my husband, my 95-year-old 
mother, my sister, my brother, my three children, and my five 
grandchildren. I am very blessed that they all live within a 20-minute 
drive from my home.
  My oldest grandchild, Jeremiah Stelp, age 14, loves to play football. 
He now plays on the high school football team. Jeremiah excels in 
school and helps his mom around the house.
  Malachi Stelp, age 11, loves Anime and driving off-road on his quad. 
He also helps his mom with chores around the house.
  Ellie Lesko, age 5, is so cute. She has blonde hair and rosy cheeks 
and loves everything about Spiderman, including toys, backpacks, shoes, 
and clothes.
  Brandon Stelp, Jr., age 4, comes running up to me and hugs me with a 
big smile that melts my heart. He loves his mud trucks and has a great 
imagination.
  Grace Stelp, age 2, loves wearing dresses, changes her clothes 
multiple times a day, has curly long locks of hair and has a feisty 
attitude.
  After my son, Joey Lesko, marries Cherie Arel in October 2024, I will 
have an additional official granddaughter, Scarlett, who is Cherie's 
daughter. Scarlett is full of energy and life and I'm looking forward 
to her officially joining our family.
  I have been blessed with a wonderful family. May God continue to 
bless each and every one of us for years to come.
