WASHINGTON — Today, AAPI Victory Fund announced their latest endorsement for the upcoming midterm elections: Susie Lee of Nevada’s 3rd congressional district for re-election. Since 2018, Representative Lee has dedicated herself to bipartisanship to combat partisan dysfunction and gridlock in order to deliver for all Nevadans.
In a state where the Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander community makes up over 10% of the population, Representative Lee has been a proponent of passing legislation that works to create a community where everyone has an opportunity to thrive.

Lee’s unwavering support and dedication to bipartisanship have made her a champion in passing legislation to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, improve public education, and rebuild the economy. There is no doubt that Representative Lee’s allyship and commitment to standing up for southern Nevada’s Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander community has helped create opportunities for our community to feel safe despite record-high anti-Asian hate crimes.
“We have full confidence that Representative Lee will continue to fight for legislation that works for not only her constituents but all Nevadans.”
Nevada’s 3rd congressional district candidate Rep. Susie Lee issued the following statement:

I’m proud to have the endorsement of the AAPI Victory Fund and will continue to fight to protect the rights and wellbeing of our AAPI community.”
