Susie Lee

Suzanne Marie Lee (née Kelley; born November 7, 1966)[1] is an American politician from the state of Nevada.

[2] Lee was the founding director of the Inner-City Games in Las Vegas and president of Communities In Schools of Nevada.

[8] She lost the primary to Ruben Kihuen by 19 points, placing third behind former state assemblywoman Lucy Flores, who received 25.6% of the vote.

Lee ran for Nevada's 3rd congressional district to succeed Jacky Rosen, who retired after one term to run for the United States Senate.

She defeated Republican Drew Johnson, political columnist, policy analyst, and former think tank founder and executive, in the general election with 51% of the vote.

Federal agencies implemented the regulatory change she was seeking, which allowed businesses with fewer than 500 employees that derive more than half of their income from gaming to apply for Paycheck Protection Program loans.

Two weeks after the change went into effect, Full House, a gambling company led by Lee's husband, secured two loans totaling $5.6 million.

Lee participates in a roundtable on youth employment with Secretary Marty Walsh and Rep. Steven Horsford .
