Congresswoman Susie Lee is a nonprofit leader, education advocate, and dedicated public servant representing Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. A longtime resident of Southern Nevada, Lee has spent decades working to improve the lives of families in the Las Vegas area through education, economic opportunity, and community-based initiatives.
Before being elected to Congress in 2018, Lee led a nonprofit organization focused on expanding educational opportunities for underserved students, helping connect young people with resources, mentorship, and pathways to success. Her work in the community gave her firsthand insight into the challenges facing working families—from access to quality education to economic stability.
In Congress, Lee has built a reputation as a pragmatic, results-oriented leader focused on delivering for her district. Representing one of the most competitive seats in the country, she has prioritized lowering costs for families, strengthening Nevada’s economy, and protecting access to healthcare.
