Representative Lester David Volk

Lester David Volk (born September 17, 1884) was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from New York. He represented New York’s 10th Congressional District and served as a historical member of Congress in the early twentieth century. His tenure in the House places him among the New York delegation during a period of post–World War I adjustment and domestic political change.

Volk entered Congress on May 19, 1919, and served until March 3, 1923, completing two terms in office. During this time, he held the role of Representative for New York’s 10th District, sitting as a member of the Republican Party. While specific committee assignments, legislative initiatives, and later career details are not provided in the available record, his service from 1919 to 1923 marks his principal period of federal officeholding and defines his place in the history of New York’s representation in Congress.
